No !@#$ing way. Paying the guy after he sits out would be an absolute disaster. Frankly, I think Berry knows it but he's trying to bait the Chiefs into pulling the tag so he can go get a deal.
But this is a game of chicken. If the Chiefs release him late enough, he's not going to have a bunch of teams that are after him because there's not enough time to integrate him into the defense. Moreover, their cap plans for the next year or two will be largely laid out.
If the Chiefs pull it now, he may still get a nice deal. Every week they get closer to the regular season, those chances diminish. I think he signs when camp ends because I don't think KC has the juevos to rescind the tag.

Closer to the season starting he might have to sign a 1 or 2 year deal for less money if rescinded. Ya he is kind of being an idiot for not signing the tag.
