Terez saying 12 mil per year.

O.city 07-30-2016 12:37 PM

Thats probably not gonna make Berry real excited.

After all the Berry and Poe talk, this...

Welp, looks like it's Poe's turn to wear the franchise tag next year.

I view this as the team working hard with Berry, and negotiations fell through.

Now they're saying, "Okay, Eric. We'll let you hold out on the tag. In the meantime, look what we just did for Eric Fisher..."

This deal is much better now at that 48 mill. Schefter corrected himself.

Thank goodness if true.

I can deal with $12m a year in new money or $10m average over the life of the contract.

Love Berry, but he had his chance.

Good grief.

You'd rather pay a non-premium player $12 million a year over a premium position, a guy that has to go against the best pass rushers in any division?

Berry may be a great safety but a great safety will never have as much impact as an even average left tackle.

Also I would bet that this lowers his cap hit a decent amount next year. Actually may help with the Berry situation.

Fishers position on the field is more valuable than Berrys.


Sorry, EB, it is what it is . . . . .

(I guess he shouldn't have asked for so much damn money)

I don't know about that. Maybe a good LT vs a great safety. But an average LT still gets you in trouble more than you'd like.

Unless the safety starts taking the ball away from the offense more, hard to say great.

Makes it a lot more palatable.

So he's getting slightly more than Lane Johnson, who's a right tackle.

Sounds like a fair deal to me.

The Chiefs offensive line looks to be locked up for the next 3 years at minimum.
