Berry hopeful for a long-term deal, unwilling to play on tag

Quote:

Safety Eric Berry said he was hopeful he could come to an agreement on a long-term contract with the Chiefs before Wednesday's deadline for teams to designate franchise players. "I'm just being patient because you never know . . . I'm not getting my hopes up," Berry said. Berry said he hasn't changed his earlier stance that he wouldn't play with the Chiefs for the second straight season on the franchise tag. "I still stand by that," Berry said.

He might be a little disgruntled, but he will play on the tag if push comes to shove.

But it won't.

He'll be signed shortly.

Berry wants paid. KC has little cap space. Tough choices have to be made.

And dicks, bags of them.

Do what Denver does and offer him a consultant position after he retires, paid in advance without telling anyone.

I think everyone is very gruntled.

I'm glad there's not already a thread on this that's been on the front page for the last 6 months.

**** mega threads. There should be an automatic maximum post limit for threads.

Recent news gets buried in megathreads. A new quote from Berry on his contract situation is thread worthy, IMO.

That thread is not for actual news, that thread is for poo flinging.

This is barely news though.

Takes less cap space to sign him to a longterm deal than tag him.
