Eric Berry doesn't expect long-term extension with Chiefs

Eric Berry expressed pessimism Sunday that he will be able to work out a long-term contract with the Chiefs ahead of Wednesday's franchise-tag deadline.
Berry is almost certainly going to be tagged, but he reiterated that he would rather sit out the season than spend another season on the one-year tender. "I still stand by that," he said. "I'm just being patient because you never know. I'm not getting my hopes up (for a long-term deal)."

We have the cap room, I'm confused by this.  

We also have about 15 free agents, and Eric Berry is more of a luxury rather than fixing a position of need. 

A move that makes sense going hard for is Cyprien, whom PFF graded the same as Berry. He's a SS that will fill in our need, Berry really isn't.

I'm sorry, but the majority of those 15 free agents, besides KK are trash.  So, if he spends the majority of the cap solidifying our "phenomenal" 6-10 players.  We've got more problems then I expected.

If we hope to sign KK and Star to long term deals that cap room quickly disappears especially if we have to tag KK. I would say that it is highly unlikely Berry comes to Carolina (although I would love it). It would limit our spend on other areas of need like OL and WR.

Star is only wanting between 7-8 million.  So, no.  That's completely wrong.

Well, we need depth, so of course those added $1-3 mil chunks will take off some of the cap. But still, we'll have enough to make a decent bid at FA.

Berry again is more of a luxury rather than fixing a position of need. Cyprien makes more sense in the fact he fixes our SS; Berry is a FS.

Give Star $8MM and then tage KK for $14MM thats almost half of that cap right there. Berry is going to get PAID and Getts wont be the guy to do it. 

We've got 43 million in cap room, currently.  Tagging KK would be 14 mill, which would be 29 mill in Cap room.  Another 8 for Star would make 31 million in cap room.  Is that really half of our cap?

Cyprien will probably be overpaid by the Jags to stay.  So they can look at other things in the Draft.  Cyprien is young and will get massively overpaid by someone.

Its half of the cap. $43M - $14M equals $29M, not $39M. 

The cap room really does disappear when locking up these players. I'm not sure if the $43M is factoring Mario Addison's contract as well...

I would love to get Berry, but someone is going to pay him big bucks and i dont see it being the Panthers.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
