Should the Chiefs sign Eric Berry for 5/70m with 38m guaranteed?
I'm not sure any safety is worth that much.

He isn't going to get much more than $12MM per year so that deal would be epically stupid IMO.
Safety is not a position where the value is going to continue to skyrocket. It has a ceiling do to the nature of the position. |

This is a passing league and pass attempts keep going up year to year. Safeties and corners are getting paid more and more each year. |

Let's set the mark at 13.5m per year average (I know it's going to be damn close to 14m per, but it might be slightly under) and make the bet 1 year avatar rights. Deal? |

Also, the numbers are the numbers are the honey badger deal with the percentage of increase to the cap factored in.

What does the highest paid safety not playing on a tag make? Take that contract, increase the guaranteed money and annual salary by a million, and there you have it.

Berry deserves to be the highest paid safety in the league. If I recall, that's what we basically offered him last year, and he turned it down.
We really need to keep him, but our flexibility beyond our initial offer does have its limits. I hope he comes down a bit, because what the Chiefs will likely throw at him is more than reasonable. |

I want Berry to be a Chief for life, but not for a blank check. He has serious concerns, medically. Cancer returns and he's on a huge money guaranteed deal...were ****ed His weak Achilles tears (that's been a concern for 2 years), were ****ed He doesn't replicate his best season ever each year, were ****ed. |
