Eric Berry talks optimistically about staying in KC.

Really good audio of Berry talking about his contract negotiations. This guy isn't going anywhere. |

$13 mil per year is completely fine with me. One of your 2-3 best players and the heart of the team.
I was worried it might be $15M or something. |

6 year deal at 13 per is probably more like 4 year at 8 or 9 per.

If this goes down, and we tag Poe, $13.6 million for DT's, several guys aren't going to be Chief's come tomorrow afternoon.

Bet they added a 6th year to the deal so they can make the 1st year hit even lower than before, like $5 million or even less.
They might actually try to tag Poe. |

I swear, the 'athletes should take a hometown discount' narrative is so f**king ignorant.
What would you do if someone was offering you 150% of whatever you currently make? That's what Berry would have gotten if the Chiefs held him to a measly and disrespectful $9M per year offer. No safety had a bigger impact on their team in a positive way than Berry has had the past two years. |

This reminds me of the Bowe/Albert situation a few years back... Dorsey working to nail this Berry deal and slap the tag on Poe. But how? I know there are ways to make the money work, but do we really need Poe on the hook for $13M this year?

If they're going to tag him....then I hope they transition tag him.

Cap rise + Foles dropped option=$17 million. That should be enough with what we already have to keep Berry/Poe next year.

They'd almost have to restructure a couple of guys to make this work. Maclin is a candidate. Maybe DJ and Hali will cut back given their situations. |
