Slimmed-down Chiefs safety Eric Berry starred in 2015, setting up next payday Read m

Slimmed-down #Chiefs safety Eric Berry starred in 2015, setting up next payday: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/nfl...#storylink=cpy … So, kind of puts to rest the box safety only talk and whether he's worth it, if you follow Louis Riddick. |

Does these players not understand that if they don't sign before FA, it hurts our chances to improve the team? Berry is a great player, but $12 million a year for him is crazy.

The fact that there are people on this board who would part ways with Berry says volumes about your average football fan.

Smart people would part with any player if the price isn't right. The only position you substantially overpay for is QB. That said, I have no idea on Berry's market value.

We are better off spending that money on a versatile linebacker like Irvin and the leftover to put towards Howard.
Berry is money driven and complicating things going into the draft. If we tag him and he throws a fit I wonder what people's opinion on here will be... |

You realize Pete Carroll has played Irvin at DE, ILB, and OLB? Right? Have you seen Irvin in pass coverage? He is astounding. And he's also capable at getting after the QB. Very underrated as he has has been overshadowed by the bigger names around him.
Even this highlight vid is labeled DE/LB : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAVV5Vb9Okw Do you even watch football? |

Eric Berry is worth money, but he isn't as good as Earl Thomas. Why should he get a much bigger contract? Doesn't compute. I wouldn't do it. He's about on par with Devin McCourty. If he doesn't sign for something between those two players, let him walk.

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. |

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. |

Again, Berry is still an ascending player at a new position, one in which everyone here has wanted the chiefs to put in him which will and does allow him to be more of a game changing player. I don't understand the fascination around here to get rid of/not resign the best drafted and developed players. It was the same thing with Houston. |

Without Berry in 14 our defense was basically the same. I would much rather have an elite corner opposite of Peters. |
