Eric Berry, safety, Kansas City Chiefs
That Berry is one of the premier safeties in the NFL is something that is not up for debate. One of the most consistent secondary players at any position around the league, he’s just as dangerous in the box on running plays as he is covering the back end.
He’s also a home-run threat (five career pick-sixes), something we saw in full effect last year when the Chiefs played against the Atlanta Falcons (watch here).
Berry isn’t going to come cheap, either for the Chiefs or any other team. In fact, he’s extremely resistant to being hit with the franchise tag for the second year in a row and has made it clear he isn’t interested in playing in 2017 for Kansas City if they do choose that route.
Since coming back from successfully beating Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2015, Berry has hauled in six interceptions, including two he took to the house for six. He has also defended another 19 passes and has made some huge stops in the box. He’s the complete package and would be desperately missed by the Chiefs if he ends up on another team in 2017.
