Free-agent preview: Safeties

With talent at the top and plenty of depth, safety should be a hot item early and likely for some time.

ERIC BERRY, KANSAS CITY

The best safety scheduled for free agency was treated like it, as Eric Berry was given the franchise tag with the intent to sign him long-term. If he ends up playing under the franchise tag he would make $10.06 million, but the Kansas City Chiefs would like to sign him to an extension to keep him there for years. His comeback from cancer was a terrific story and he just seems to fit with the Chiefs.
