Don't you think they'd have found a way to make it work if they'd have been able to reach an agreement on compensation with Philly? There's still the NFI option for Berry if it came to that.
Kendricks only has a base salary of $900K. Any signing bonus goes on Philly's cap. Cutting Zombo, McCray or JMJ would've freed up enough to fit Kendricks in and one of those guys would be going anyway due to roster constraints.
Kendricks isn't a money issue and I don't think not having him signed to an extension would keep the Chiefs from making a deal either; afterall, there's plenty of time and if he costs you a 3rd, well that's not cost prohibitive for a guy that would be a perfect scheme fit in a year where the Chiefs are possibly ready to take a leap forward this season.

Or the Eagles were wanting a 2nd rounder.
