Wrong.  An actual sports book gives the field better odds.  https://www.google.com/amp/www.arrowheadpride.com/platform/amp/2017/2/14/14613804/there-are-odds-on-eric-berrys-next-team?client=safari

Oh look, an opinion piece, which ultimately means nothing. 

Let me explain something to you, whether you care to admit it or not. 

The Cheifs are the favorites, cause they stood by their star player, and he'll be forever worshipped there. That goes a long ways. 

Should Berry choose money over that, the Panthers won't be the highest bidder. 

Pipe dream.

Bookmaker.eu, not an option piece.

I don't doubt that both Berry and the Chiefs would love to make it work, and they do have a history.  But it's business, and the Chiefs have gone buck naked on multiple contracts at multiple positions in recent years, including their disappointing #1 overall pick OT.  They then double down by double dog daring Berry to have a monster year on the tag, which he did.  Now they're between a rock and a hard place, to say the least.  And for Berry, he can be loved elsewhere as well, win rings, and put 10+ million more into his bank account for future generations by going elsewhere.

There's this thing called "cap."

Chiefs? Oh, I can tell you right now they'd be stupid to give him a franchise tag a second year in a row. They are cap-strapped. They'll either lose Poe or Berry, that's because business is business.

lt's more likely Berry is gone. He'll go to the highest bidder, and it's not too insane to think the Panthers might be a part of it as the cap is due to expire soon.

Likely, we don't get Berry but a guy like Cyprien instead. But Berry isn't too far-fetched.

The Chiefs can easily get to around $20m in cap space if they want.  Cutting a backup QB and a RB that was hurt almost all of last year gets them around $13m.

If they want to sign both to long term deals they can make it work.  If they tag one of them it actually makes it a little harder because the tag would probably carry a higher cap hit in the first year then a long term deal.

If they decide to tag one of them it would become a bit more complicated because the cap hit next year would be higher, whereas a long term deal would probably have a much lower 1st year cap cost, but they could still make it work with some other cuts and/or restructures.

If they don't offer him what he wants, which is probably around 5yr/65m, it won't be because they can't pay it, it will be because they don't feel it is worth it to their team.
