Where we disagree, DJ is specifically about these things.

Berry did not have to 100% pass a physical at training camp, and should the deformity have been known and the extent of it noted, then the club has every right to terminate his contract unless the player can prove, undoubtedly, that the aggravation left him to a lesser state than at the time of that notation. Berry, throughout the duration of camp, was listed on injury reports for this deformity so it was undoubtedly noted by the club physicians. That's my stance on this. Do also pay attention to Section 1 of that article and you'll see why I've been screaming about the contract portion. I disagree that Berry can win a grievance here. I will say that I do have my doubts, and I put them somewhere around 90%, that the club will cut Berry and it isn't on the premise of the injury. If I were the Chiefs, I'd definitely cut him and see if he tries to file a grievance.
