IMO the best strategy is to retain your own players when you have the kind of coaching staff we have in KC...that is even more important with the way the salary cap is going up every year.
That said, you can't go out and give Eric Berry 20% more than the highest paid safety in the NFL "just because".
I'm 100% on board giving him the same deal as Harrison Smith...but if the report I linked is true, Eric Berry can kick rocks.
KC gave him 7m they didn't need to in 2014...that should make him negotiate a fair deal.
