Bye.

Cut him and move on.

Just restructure Berry's contract over the next 15 years...they can keep him on the sideline in sweats and he can be an emotional leader/coach. He gets all his guaranteed money. Problem solved.

In 5-6 years he can retire with an undisclosed injury settlement....

Shut da **** up

Do the Denver way and make him an 10 million/year janitor or consultant. He gets paid but his money doesn’t count against the cap.

He probably only practiced this year at the beginning so that he could say it "flared up" during practice, thus being ineligible for the NFI list.

I was fully on board with berry, but he is handicapping this team right now.

He has only played in 87 games in his career out of 115, and he has essentially been the highest paid safety in the nfl for 8 years now.

I hate to say it, but they should have let him walk in his contract year.

Maybe twitter guy is right about the settlement

I was actually half serious about Berry's contract. What prevents a team/player from ripping up a contract every year if they both agree to the terms?

Could they spread out his cap hit to essentially nothing for the next 2 years...and play the waiting game to see if he every recovers? Then if he's never able to play again...agree to kick him down the difference in an injury settlement. By the time they know...the cap will have increased. They can spread that new 2020 deal out for as long as they want..

Berry's situation is a rarity...at least I would think. Signing a record deal with a ton of guaranteed $$$ then only playing a part of one game after...and possibly retiring but not doing so because you want your millions. The Chiefs essentially cant cut/release him...so they just repeat "week to week".

The cowboys were penalized draft picks a few years ago for manipulating the cap if I recall.

I would think Berry's situation is unique...as we are talking about an injury settlement.

I'm not sure the details/precautions that the NFL takes to keep the Elways of the world from abusing it.

Wow - it’s amazing how quickly this board turns on someone like Berry. He’s been a true professional his entire career and everyone is questioning his motives and determination. I guess he never beat cancer or anything like that and came back with an epic season where he was far and away our most impactful defensive player.

I’m as disappointed as anyone that he’s not on the field and you can blame Dorsey and the Chiefs for giving him that contract. But people are talking about Berry like he’s a guy who just got his big money contract and mailed it in after that. Like he’s a guy with character issues. Amazing.

I'm not upset at Berry because of the situation. I'm upset at the Chiefs for multiple reasons. They have not been forthcoming to the media or fans on the type of injury, other than "heel/foot", whereas this situation was much worse than they're letting on.

In hindsight, the Chiefs should had placed him on IR (with the designation to return) thus freeing up a roster spot for someone else who can actually help the team, specifically, the defensive side.

Nope, they ****ed up.

Thanks you!

Not me. Favorite Chief ever.

I like Berry...I thought the way he handled the negotiations with Dorsey was pretty lame. It turned into a national headline. It forced Chunt's PR hand into a shitty contract...and we're seeing the repercussions of it now.

Berry beating cancer...amazing.

Berry turning the screws on the team that stood by him during it...shitty.

It's not his fault necessarily, but his inability to stay healthy may be the reason we miss a Super Bowl run. He got a huge contract and has been useless since.

It just sucks and is hard to swallow since he fought the team so hard on that contract.
