Well, the Chiefs have leverage because Houston also knows the Chiefs can cut him any time they want now. Houston would gladly renegotiate an extension even if it's much cheaper than his current deal. But yes, assuming he wants to play in a 4-3.

I don't think either side really has leverage over the other. The Chiefs save a lot by cutting him, but he could still get plenty and still play for a contender like the Texans or Packers who both could use Houston.

We traded down 8 years.
Not sure if Spags is young enough for today's defensive tasks and offensive schemes

They’re pretty well screwed on that end as far as I can tell. If Berry has heel surgery, he won’t be able to pass a physical by March when a huge chunk of his salary becomes guaranteed.

But that couldn't happen unless the Chiefs cut him. And his open market value is way cheaper than his current contract. So if all the Chiefs have to do is outbid his market value, they still save a lot on the overall contract (if he wants to stay, he'll take a hometown discount). All while saving a shitload in year 1. Houston's at an age where I'm sure he'd rather get a guaranteed contract he can play out until retirement. I'm sure before we hit that point the Chiefs will plan to either renegotiate his current deal or just let him loose. I don't see them paying him full price if they're confident he's in their long term plans.

Isn't this a non-football injury and therefore that guarantee is null and void? |

He's an average player that sometimes has a total breakdown for one reason or another. I think they got their value from him at that draft slot and I'd probably leave it at that with him and let him sign a big deal somewhere else. Quote:
He would definitely get a figure way North of what his base would be if the Chiefs were to cut his salary enough to have a comfortable cap charge this season. That's without beginning to even factor in, what if he doesn't translate well in the change? A down year and flipping over to the wrong side of 30 would be a crusher when the Chiefs release him next year, which would be a total lock in any situation sans an extension. |

well, I mean if you played him inside only in a primarily zone scheme so he's got everything in front of him, he might be okay. Don't ask him to turn and run with receivers.
He might get #2 money and play that position for someone but he ain't gonna light the league on fire. |

He's not completely helpless and the FA class for guys that can play outside and play 16 games is very dire. Anyone who doesn't think he's at least getting 12m avg over multiple years and a starting job outside is kidding themselves. |

Anyway, don't care, he's likely gone, and it'll be interesting to see where he lands and for how much. |
