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.
I actually think that Poe is the one who is more likely to leave than Berry. We drafted a big DL who can play NT, Jaye Howard was very good at NT last year and Poe has back problems. Not as much production last year.

I can definitely see Poe asking for a lot more than he's worth.
