Seems a good deal on the surface. It had to get done and my stomach isn't turning. At this point in time I'll say "job well done" by Dorsey. |

Fisher showed me a lot last year, and now that he is paired with Mitchell for the foreseeable future, we have as good a pair of bookend tackles as anyone in our division, if not the AFC. |

They're betting that Fisher becomes much more than an average player though so thats nice. |

I fear what Fish's price tag would be after next year assuming he continues to develop.
Its not like we were going to get a 25 year old assending LT on the cheap. |

Ed Reed is a future HOF Safety, not sure that comparison is fair.
I mean, I think most people would take Ronnie Lott over John Alt, if given the option. (EB is most certainly not Ronnie Lott) |

Fisher has gotten better the past two seasons. It may be a bit more than some wanted but the fact is it is a premium position, he is trending up not down, and the salary cap is getting so high that $12/mil for a competent LT is going to look like a steal in four years. If he regresses then it's a bad move, but you can say that about any player at any position at any time.

If he continues to progress, this ends up being a good deal for the CHiefs.

Reed will be a Hall of Famer, but even Reed isn't going to single handedly win games on defense if his offense sucks due to a Jordan Black sized hole at left tackle. That is exactly what the Chiefs would have if they would have signed Berry to this money and not Fisher.

I think Eric Fisher showed towards the end of last year that he's not just average, but he's a pretty good LT.
I'll definitely take it at the deal #s that Terez Paylor quoted |
