Right now who would fill his role if he was to move? Abdullah is a possibility, but we simply don't have the linebackers or any one else that could cover his various roles. I think they target a rangey FS before they target someone to fill Berry's role, he simply too good at it.
I know people love the flashy FS types like Earl Thomas, but Chancellor is just as valuable to that defense as Thomas. We have our Chancellor, now we just need to find a step up from Lewis, which would be a lower end starting caliber safety...

Thomas has a much harder job than Kam does. He is asked to cover an insane amount of ground on every play. The point that's being made here is that with the money and the high draft pick we spent on Berry, we should be getting our money's worth (at the absolute hardest position, as the Seahawks are doing with their high dollar player)
Kendrick Lewis is being asked to complete a harder task than Berry is. It doesn't make sense to ask a lesser player to do a harder task than a better player
