It still lays some blame on Dorsey. 6 months and not one part of this contract was agreed with Berry'a agent? Years? Gauranteed $$? Overall $$? Jesus.

Why is that Dorsey's fault? I have no idea what the Berry camp was asking for.
I can't fault the Chiefs for taking the approach that they need to cover their asses. Chad Speck came into this negotiation with a lot of momentum on his side and I'm glad the Chiefs took a tough approach.
Berry is getting 10.8 million this year and has made over 50 million in his career thus far. I get he wants the long-term security, but he already has that based on his last deal. I don't expect him to take any less than the market dictates, I did expect some leeway with the Chiefs in helping them protect this investment. Whether it's the insurance policy, or yearly roster bonuses.
I don't have any inside knowledge of the negotiation, but I'd be shocked if Berry is a Chief past this season.
