It's all in the article.
His first year in said position, he was an all pro and with more time and reps in that position, is likely to improve.

Don't care, he isn't worth more than 10 million per. No safety in my mind is worth that kind of money. The top safety in the NFL makes 10 million per. The 2nd best makes 9.5 million per. Berry is close to #2, but he isn't #1. That and safeties of late are vastly overrated compared to in the past. I've seen far better than any of these guys play so call me unimpressed.
The Chiefs secondary wasn't worse without him. I'd much rather the Chiefs re-sign Smith and Branch if Berry is going to cost anything more than 10 million per. I've been expecting 9.6 for Berry. That's based on expectation that the Chiefs will re-sign him.
If I were the GM, I'd tag him and trade him to the highest bidder. Teams just don't need to lock up that kind of money in a safety. I'd rather roll with Branch at SS and sign Quddus away from Detroit to be the nickle defender.
