Goodells wife offered Berry a Beej ::shrug::

Chiefs will likely have about $10m extra in cap space, yes.

I remember asking about the Denver CB & it was a resounding nada.

No way.

Berry's earned a minimum of $42 million as a player. I'm sure that he has excellent insurance coverage through the NFLPA and I'm certain that the Hunt Family would be happy to help with any additional or unexpected expenses.

But there's no way they can keep a player who's unable to play football, along with his $8.3 million dollar contract, and roster spot.

That's just bad business.

I don't see them just keeping him on the roster if he can't keep playing. They'll reach some injury settlement where they can still potentially keep paying him but not his full current contract.

They'll continue to pay him for the remainder of 2014 but it's highly likely they'll cut him at some point in 2015 if he's unable to return.

He only ate because they told him it was free.

I imagine the Chiefs will be able to keep Berry on the roster and not have him count against the cap. Other than that, not much.

Did we pick up the 5th year option on his contract? If not....then this was his last year and we're only on the hook for his contract through 2014.

If he retires with time left on his contract though....it comes off the books but is still in place for if/when he comes back.

...and taped fingers.

This. There are other financial ways to "be there" for Eric. I'm sure the Chiefs will explore and partake in them. Keepng it so his salary counts against the cap is not one of them.

Probably an injury settlement type deal would be my guess. we can't eat that much cap space to just be nice. I hope he gets better and can come back but that should be the least of his worries

Does his 2014 cap hit get prorated? Meaning KC honors their financial commitment off the books..and is given the money from the remaining 5 games to use towards replacing the roster spot? It seems like there should be a stipulation for rare scenarios like this...

Redskins traded all their picks for RGIII

Now the Redskins suck.

Sooooo...... the blessing in disguise is that more money is available to give Houston 1billion $$$$$$$$$$$
