Chiefs Berry thinking about and checking into surgery - Page 13

MAHOMO 4 LIFE! · 02-07-2019, 01:06 PM

Brett Veach said the team's medical staff will work through the needs for Eric Berry in the offseason. He mentioned that Berry was in Green Bay in the past few days. Notable because that's the base for renowned foot/ankle surgeon Bob Anderson who has tended to several #Chiefs.

I think you're part right. The other part is trying to work it to get the most $$$ in doing so...

If I understand the situation correctly, if the Chiefs force the issue, and rid themselves of him, he comes away with the most cash. So, no way he retires. That's probably closer to the real situation he's contemplating.

I actually think part of Berry’s decision is tied to Houston. If the Chiefs move on from Houston, he will want out. They are tight. As many have already said, there is no palatable situation in a parting with Berry here. One way or another, the Chiefs are on the hook for a lot of money whether he is here or not.

Can the medical staff just say he is good to play or needs surgery and force him to have to produce a second opinion. At that point if he doesn't do what he needs to then suspend him for violating team rules. He'll appeal and then let it go to arbitration.

In regards to his friendship with Houston, it's probably not a major factor, but I'm sure it's part of the big picture. I hate to say it, but I'm starting to think that the Haglunds is just a cover story for something much, much worse.

If this were just a matter of a corrective foot surgery, it would have been attended to long ago. A man who lives to play is not going to let a foot growth with a known, restorative procedure stand in the way of doing what he loves. If it were just a matter of foot surgery and rehab, Berry would have been hard at it throughout 2018, not attending team meetings, functions, and hanging around on the sideline. I don't have all of the information on Haglunds, so I am not 100% familiar with all of the risks involved in attempting to correct it. But unless one of the potential complications is never being able to walk again without assistance or at all, I don't see a player like EB just bailing out and giving up on trying to correct it.

No, there's something more here. Something berry wrong.

Is there any possibility that the guy just may not need surgery and merely resting for several weeks/the offseason will do the trick? Because let's be honest, if the injury was that bad, then there's no way he plays those games towards the end of the season. If any potential surgery doesn't take place soon then it might be good news instead of something that's negative. Because I cannot see why he would delay it if he knows it's needed, it just doesn't make sense at all.

Oh great, Eric's mom has returned.

This POS can't be gone fast enough.

No. He rested for the better part of two years....he had a few workouts and 3 games in that timespan. Do you really think more rest would help at all?

I also don’t get why the whole Berry situation hasn’t received more media “scrutiny”. Everybody can see the situation is bizarre. He can start for a handful of games late in the season, peaces out for the Divisional, then suddenly is fine again for the AFCCG.

Something stinks.

We need some twitter sleuths “with sources” to get on the horn here. Local media is too cowardly to rock the boat.

"Rested?" You do know it usually takes several months of rehab to recover from the injury he had, right? So he was not "resting". This heel thing then comes out of nowhere during training camp after recovering from the other injury, so it's two different things.

IF he needs the surgery then of course he should get it right now as there's a chance he plays at least half of next season and the playoffs. BUT if there's a chance that he doesn't need surgery then that's good news imo. Too many people aren't thinking logically and just get so overly emotional over this smh.

Because none of these people want to be the reporter or station that busts on the cancer survivor. They will get backlash for it because for everyone that is a fan like this there are a ton of casuals that love him and will get pissed.

But it's blatantly obviously what he's doing.

What is he doing?

He's prolonging that surgery so he can't pass a physical thus guaranteeing another year here on that ridiculous contract.

This shit from Berry is nothing more than a long game ploy to see as much of that contract as he can. He knows he's done.

He was resting for most of last season and that's how he ended up "day to day".

Resting doesn't work for a bone deformity. You either get it fixed or you don't.
