Berry took Dorsey's offer to make him the highest paid safety in the NFL, crumpled it up, and threw it back in his face. That wasn't good enough.
He bristled when Dorsey dare suggest that a protection clause be put in for the team should Berry's cancer return, for which the KC Chiefs should not be responsible nor lose a competitive advantage.
His contract stung the Chiefs in a big way, and it almost made it so we would have been unable to quickly rebuild/recover a defense good enough to win a Super Bowl the following year.
He's not a traitor. And I remember his (healthy) playing days with fondness. But all of the shit that went down left a sour taste in my mouth, and I do not at all think of him alongside all of the other great Chiefs players like Derrick Johnson who were so close to winning a ring with the team but never quite got there.
