It will absolutely have an affect on the team.

If not making every good player on the team the highest paid guys at their position fractures the locker room, then you probably need to have a primer with your players on the realities of the salary cap and the definition of zero sum games.
They aren't 'letting Berry walk'. They're simply not handing him a blank check.
And if Houston wants to get uppity about it, **** him. He's seen firsthand that the Chiefs are willing to take care of their own. Berry, despite this organization going well above and beyond during his cancer fight, seems to think that holding them over a barrel is the way to go.
If this keeps the team from competing, then the team was looking for a reason to quit anyway.
