For Eric to earn the contract he's seeking, the following things will need to happen:
1) he needs to stay cancer free. I know it's not his choice, but we're talking about huge money here. Roughly 8% of the cap for a safety...If the cancer returns, the team cant go down with him.
2) he needs to play every year at the level he played 2016.
3) he needs to be "Ray Lewis" in the locker room the next 5 years.
4) his Achilles needs to hold up throughout the contract
If any of those don't happen, KC is gonna get burned.
