He's not ****ing poor. Oh, and he's insured.

Jesus, take the $5 million you save on Berry's salary and give it to the Children's Miracle Network to actually spend on kids that could use it for all I care. It fixes our cap and isn't a completely unnecessary handout.

The chickenshit PR move is to keep paying him. Every single bit of logic and reason says you cut him to veterans minimum and stick him on the NFI list.
What is wrong with you?

I'm thinking a knee injury is a poor comparison.

How many NFL players have ever been diagnosed with cancer while still active in the league before?

It's not like the Chiefs had a whole lot of history to know EXACTLY how to handle this from a business perspective.

However, I do like how they handled it ... because cutting a guy or not paying a guy because he WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER while being a MODEL PLAYER FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION HIS ENTIRE CAREER is a SCOTT PIOLI move.

They should extend his contract with a 5.5m SB and a big roster bonus for 2016...otherwise that money should be used to further bolster the roster.

5.5m is a really good starter...or $ that should go to Houston.

That is great news! I spoke with a man battling the same thing when I was awaiting my CT scan, which revealed blood clots and landed me in the hospital. The man was older than me, maybe 60ish, and truth be told, he didn't look so good, but his spirits were high so that was good to see. I wish Eric all the best and if he can return to the field one day, it will be a joyous event for the entire franchise and fan base.

Anyway, he's got the most treatable thing there is, so he could be back next year.

Hootie 03-25-2015 10:30 AM
I don't care what they do to his contract as long as Eric Berry agrees to it ... but that idea seems like a pretty good idea, Boss.

Yeah....I think he has the best option. You get the cap space....but you're also showing him (and the NFL) that you want/expect him to come back and play football as a Chief.

IMO it's irresponsible to have his 2015 salary hit the books 100% this year, we are trying to get over the hump. This is an extremely important year for this team and we need to be at absolute full strength.

Hopefully.

I don't know what kind of treatments he's getting other than chemo, but it's a real kick in the ass. Especially if he's getting radiation.

It helps him greatly that he's a 26 yr old athlete.

I'd rather go 0-16 than do what DJ suggested.

That's silly.

Eric has made more than any safety in the history of this league because he was drafted in the last year of the old CBA. I wouldn't cut Eric, but I would offer him an extension and if he balks I'd NFI him.

It's not like that's hanging the guy out to dry.

It's a tough decision, but business is business sometimes

Hootie 03-25-2015 10:52 AM
I don't ****ing care how much Eric Berry has made in his NFL career.

Not one bit.

YOU DON'T CUT A GUY THAT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AND SAY, "WELL HE'S MADE A LOT."

At least we know what kind of GM BossGlazer would be. Hopefully no one drops any candy wrappers in the hallways.
