Quote from Gil Brandt,
I talked to [Eric] Berry’s father today,” Brandt, who once signed Berry’s father, James, to a contract after he finished up his playing career at Tennessee, explained. “I told him, ‘I want you to know one thing. The best deal is not always the best deal.’ I think Kansas City is the type of town, and you can go to Bobby Bell and Len Dawson that have lived there all their life and are held in such high esteem and ask them, I think Kansas City is a great place to go.
“It’s not what you get today, it’s what you get for the next 30 or 35 years that counts.
