Berry hopeful for a long-term deal, unwilling to play on tag

[Quesadilla Joe]

Safety Eric Berry said he was hopeful he could come to an agreement on a long-term contract with the Chiefs before Wednesday's deadline for teams to designate franchise players. "I'm just being patient because you never know . . . I'm not getting my hopes up," Berry said. Berry said he hasn't changed his earlier stance that he wouldn't play with the Chiefs for the second straight season on the franchise tag. "I still stand by that," Berry said.

#Chiefs S Eric Berry says his agent has continued to speak with the Chiefs. Clark Hunt also made it clear both sides "want to get it done"

And deny Tiger a chance to derail? Surely you jest!

This is barely news though.

It's the offseason. It's all we've got.

I don't see a problem with a new thread. Other one is a shit show.

Not everyone wants to sift through a 1,000+ post thread, especially one that has veered so far off course recently.

That's true. Something HAS to happen by Wednesday or this will turn into a real shit show.

The other thread needed to die anyway.

Dorsey should do the unpopular thing here and franchise tag him if he's going to play hard ball. For the games he holds out in, it gives us an opportunity to develop Eric murray.

Then as the season progresses he'll have no choice but to play or risk having his stock drop further.

So this is the EB news thread and the other is the troll spam thread?

The transition tag is the way to go.
