Unless you have some reason to believe he will be over this heel thing and ready to play 16 games at full tilt (absent add'l injury), then you have to cut him. That salary can be put to better use than 17 weeks of 'will he or won't he' from Eric Berry and his sore foot.

I think the question comes down to not whether Berry is worth $20M, but whether he's worth $6M - the amount of cap it clears to cut him.
He's worth that to me, because I don't think he misses a game next year.
