I got the track man in today. I'll let you know how it goes.

But you keep dancing around the fact that there are actually players that have this philosophy. You might believe it's that black and white if you want to, but it's not and guys like Charles are proof.

Also, can we stop pretending that Berry is some late round pick that worked his ass off for a second contract. Berry's first contract is better than most guys will ever see. He's been paid, dare I say overpaid. He just wants to break the bank again.

I'm not always a team first guy. I can see it from the players perspective also. I just don't see any way I can side with Berry in this situation. He's clearly being unreasonable.

Again, I should have gone to dental school.

Ever play The Harvester? Somewhere in Iowa, can't remember.

Right. He's going to sign around the team when the team goes back to KC. We see this happen every year around the league yet people still get their feelings hurt over it. It's amazing.

Yep.

O. City might be the only person concerned about the holdout going any further than that, and I don't even think he is.

Now, if he wants to sit out this year in the hopes that the Chiefs just release him so he can play elsewhere, that's his right. But he won't see a cent of the $10.8 million.
C'mon, man. You of all people know he's not going to sit out.

He'll sign in W3/W4 of the PS, just like a lot of guys do every year.

Why would I think that?

You guys are ****ing hilarious LMAO

4X pro bowler, 2X first team All-pro and just came off NFL comeback player of the year and you think he's making crazy demands bc he wants to get paid the same $$ that Earl Thomas was paid.

The Chiefs not thinking Berry is worth that much is fine, but if you were Eric you'd do the same damn thing and you know it.
Earl Thomas' deal was 5/50

Berry wanted 12m average per with over half guaranteed.

And the Chiefs have paid almost every free agent they have had...and wanted Berry to take out an insurance policy to protect the team in case cancer came back.. He refused.

He wants 20% more than the highest paid safety in NFL history got.

That's just rediculous.

It's a business after all.


Could they have taken it and rolled it over to this year's cap?
yes, but that would have been a dirtbag move. Berry was worth every penny of what he got last year...but he's in no way worth 12m per year with a stupid amount of guaranteed money for a guy coming off cancer that can return at any point.

Oh, I know he'll be there at some point but holding out doesn't improve his position with the Chiefs, nor is it leverage, because his salary is set.

I think it's worth noting that out of the 10 guys Franchised this year, he's the only player not to arrive at camp on Day One.

IIRC, it's in Rhodes, NE of Des Moines.

Great track.

I'd highly advise you to get to Erin Hills before October, but I've heard they are sold out for the year.

Can't imagine that's true, but if you can away I'd call and get on.

It's not about improving his position, IMO.

The guy just beat CANCER.

If he wants to take a few weeks off from camp, be my guest. Wouldn't be the first guy, certainly won't be the last.

This is a non-issue, IMO.
