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. |

So there are quite a few on here saying Berry isn't the top safety in the NFL so he doesn't deserve to make more than Thomas. Fair enough. However, salary caps have changed as we all know, so Berry and his agent aren't going to look at that as the benchmark. It's going to be the highest safety contract in the league, not just because the cap has gone up, but also because he deserves it.
Like it or not, he is the FACE of the Chiefs, and if you don't believe that ask any of your buddies that live somewhere outside of Missouri and ask them who's the first player they think of when they think of the Chiefs. He has become an essential leader fot this team, a stud of football player, and if we want to continue the momentum brought onto this team this year, he needs to stay. If he isn't an all-pro for us he will be somewhere else. That's how good he is. He can play either deep FS like Earl or an in the box banger like Chancellor. Nobody else brings that to the table, keep him here. |

Said it before and will say it again, he will stay in KC on a big but fair contract. Hell they paid him his regular salary while he was on the NFIL which they didn't have to do and its not like the guy needed the money. |

I understand why he wants to get paid. I also understand that he's not worth "the highest paid safety in the league." You can draft guys and fit them into a two zone safety scheme relatively effectively. Do you know where the Chiefs were ranked defensively in 2014? The year that Berry sat out? (With particular emphasis on passing defense?) |

If he wants to be paid as the top safety it could be anywhere from $10,000,001 and up. People just assume 11 or 12. Either way, same thing. |

I think DJ improved in htting the gaps quicker as the season progresses but he's a liability in pass coverage. A versatile ILB like Irvin was used in pass coverage 30% of downs and was very good at it. Being a pass heavy league now we need to address the ILB sooner rather than later. Mauga is depth, I hope March is an answer. But we need to draft OLB/ILb or get someone in FA

For the people not catching up here: $11m is not that bad for a safety nowadays. With the cap rise, $11m is basically equivalent to $9m 2 years ago.
