Should the Chiefs sign Eric Berry for 5/70m with 38m guaranteed?

I'm not sure any safety is worth that much.

He isn't going to get much more than $12MM per year so that deal would be epically stupid IMO.

Safety is not a position where the value is going to continue to skyrocket. It has a ceiling do to the nature of the position.

Also, the numbers are the numbers are the honey badger deal with the percentage of increase to the cap factored in.

That's ignorant.

This is a passing league and pass attempts keep going up year to year.

Safeties and corners are getting paid more and more each year.

Want to make a friendly wager he doesn't hit an average salary of $14MM his next contract?

Its about years and guaranteed $.

What does the highest paid safety not playing on a tag make? Take that contract, increase the guaranteed money and annual salary by a million, and there you have it.

I'm definitely interested, but I've got to get ready for work in a few.

Let's set the mark at 13.5m per year average (I know it's going to be damn close to 14m per, but it might be slightly under) and make the bet 1 year avatar rights.

Deal?

Berry deserves to be the highest paid safety in the league. If I recall, that's what we basically offered him last year, and he turned it down.

We really need to keep him, but our flexibility beyond our initial offer does have its limits. I hope he comes down a bit, because what the Chiefs will likely throw at him is more than reasonable.

That's exactly where I'm at.

I want Berry to be a Chief for life, but not for a blank check.

He has serious concerns, medically.

Cancer returns and he's on a huge money guaranteed deal...were ****ed
His weak Achilles tears (that's been a concern for 2 years), were ****ed
He doesn't replicate his best season ever each year, were ****ed.

It was reported that he wanted the same % as Earl Thomas, which Thomas got 13.3% of Seattle's cap ($133 million cap in 2014 divided by Thomas' $10 million avg)

We have no choice but to keep him, but the smart thing to do here is offer him a deal that's 5% higher than Honey Badger's deal in every aspect and if he refuses, tell the media that we offered him top dollar and he said no.

That's a lot of coin for a safety. That's about what TJ Ward (2 time Pro Bowler) and Darian Stewart (1 time Pro Bowler) make combined.
