INDIANAPOLIS • Few teams cleared the decks like Kansas City when it came to roster-shaping entering the NFL Scouting Combine.
The Chiefs re-signed Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry as well as up-and-coming offensive guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. They released Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles, and decided not to place the franchise tag on defensive tackle Dontari Poe.
Obviously, these were all big moves — it’s not like general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid were re-arranging deck furniture at Arrowhead.
In the case of Berry and Duvernay-Tardif, it’s nearly $120 million worth of contracts — $78 million over six years for Berry and $41 million over five years for Duvernay-Tardif.
