It's an emotional reaction to a perfectly sane business action, really.

The Chiefs have more than proven that they can, will and do take care of their own.
Tamba Hali never hit Free Agency, nor did Derrick Johnson or Jamaal Charles. They took care of Dwayne Bowe but he failed to reciprocate.
They took care of Allen Bailey at a time when that was questioned by some (I was for it) and gave Jaye Howard $6 million per. They just rewarded Travis Kelce with a huge extension that pays him more than Gronk and made Houston the highest paid pass rusher in the league (albeit, briefly) and smartly signed Ron Parker.
They locked up West and Ware, Alex Smith and signed Maclin to a huge free agency contract.
Personally, I'd be surprised if any players had a problem with not coming to terms on a long term deal with Berry. They didn't cut or trade him and he's still the second highest paid safety in the league.
It's a business.
