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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
