The tag, and their willingness to use it, actually hurt the Chiefs in those contract discussions because Berry's agent, perhaps justifiably, took a hard-line approach to the tag and what it meant for his client.
So the moment you tag Berry again, he knows that Berry is getting at least $13 million and what do you bet that creates the baseline for his proposed AAV?
The Chiefs could end up getting a better contract if they actually let him hit the market, IMO.

Word. He was hoping for Atlanta last year but they drafted Keanu Neal. Most teams aren't hurting for a playmaker safety. I say take the risk. If things don't work out we got a 3rd round comp for next year and Eric Murray gets the go.
