I'm not saying those "ifs" are going to happen, but I'm pointing out there is an actual situation where trading our best defensive player makes sense. Just the same way you think there was a situation where trading our best defensive player made sense.
I don't want it to happen, but I hope the chiefs consider every possibility.

How can you say it wasn't a legit concern?
He was 1 offense away from a year long suspension. That isn't a concern? That's not something Peterson made up. That was a the reality of the situation. I understand that Peterson used it as a cop-out....but it doesn't change the fact that it was in fact a real risk.
And of course there might be an actual situation in which unloading Berry makes sense, but it's unlikely to happen. I don't see $$$ as a reason to give up an All Pro player. The only plausible situation is if A) We have the chance to draft another Premier prospect or B) Some team offers up a stupid amount of picks.
The odds of either of those happening are slim to none.
