On Wednesday, the NFL hit the first day they were able to place the franchise tag on a pending free agent. The marquee names being mentioned as possibilities for the Chiefs tag are Eric Berry and Dontari Poe. Last week, John Dorsey make comments regarding the negotiations for Eric Berry’s possible new contract. Berry’s representatives then countered through social media saying there were communications but they were not positive.
Lost in that story is the relative silence on the front of a new contract for Dontari Poe. Dorsey did echo his comments on Berry, saying the Poe talks were “progressing”.
