Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry has no intentions of signing the franchise tag. Here are five landing spots for the All-Pro safety in 2017 free agency.

Strong safety Eric Berry has been one of the best defensive backs in the NFL since joining the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2010 NFL Draft out of the University of Tennessee. Berry is a five-time Pro Bowler, a three-time All-Pro and the winner of the 2015 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

While he probably loves playing a prominent role in a ferocious Kansas City defense, Berry has no intentions of getting slapped with the franchise tag again. Even after arguably his best season as a professional in 2015, Berry eventually had to sign the 2016 franchise tag worth $10.8 million to re-up with the Chiefs for one year.

Berry could in theory re-sign with the Chiefs for one more year on the franchise tag, worth a projected $11 million in 2017. Given that he is in his money-making prime, here are the five teams that Berry could land with in 2017 NFL free agency.

5 Carolina Panthers NFC, South

Not only would Berry leave Kansas City for more money, he may want to play closer to his native Atlanta when he picks a team in 2017 NFL free agency. While he may want to go to his hometown team in the Atlanta Falcons, the Falcons already have their strong safety position figured out with 2016 first-round pick Keanu Neal.

Though they did lose defensive coordinator Sean McDermott to the Buffalo Bills head coaching gig, the Carolina Panthers could be one of the teams that has the best chance to land Berry in 2017 NFL free agency.

Carolina had the fourth-worst passing defense in the NFL in 2016, surrendering 4,216 yards through the air. The Panthers had major issues in the back-end of their defense all of last season. They really missed their All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman, who signed with the Washington Redskins.

Berry could come in to Charlotte and transform a middling Carolina secondary. Not only will the Panthers be picking in the top 10 in the 2017 NFL Draft, but the Panthers are in great position with the salary cap to land lucrative talent.

The Panthers will have a projected $50,628,149 to work with this spring. Should they spend the bulk of their available capital on its rookie class and other young players, the Panthers could be in the market to pay Berry at or above market value.
