What do you mean?

The transition tag means Berry is basically an unrestricted free agent thats free to negotiate with all 32 teams.

Once he agrees to a contract with another team, KC has 7 days for the right to sign Eric to that exact contract or to let him walk and get no compensation.

It's basically a "right of first refusal".
