Dorsey - engineer of best offseason in 20 YEARS!

[MGM]

I really like what we're doing. We'll see where it goes.

If Berry comes back this year that will be the icing on the cake.

There is zero chance that Eric Berry returns this year, let alone, next year or the year after.

Aren't you supposed to be gone now or is your word as shitty as your posts?

You think he is finished?

Having seen the effects of chemo and radiation to family members and friends these past few years leads me to believe that it will be extremely difficult for him to resume an NFL career and play at a high level.

Someone can "look okay" physically but struggle mentally. Chemo and radiation also can affect bone density, causing them to become brittle, so running 25 miles an hour and crashing into a 230 pound human being won't likely be recommended.

It would be fantastic if he could return to the NFL but as a fan, I'm more concerned about his long term health.

Agree he has to think about his health then his love for the game.

I think a lot of this will be dependent on how early they caught it and the level of medical tech he had access to. Cancer treatment for a wealthy star athlete with limitless insurance is much different than it is for us common folk.

I dont think Berry will ever play for the Chiefs again though...he's too expensive and they dont really need him. They did right by him though...Didn't he make like $12 million or close last season...that's ridiculous for a Safety.

There hasn't been any announcement by his family or the team regarding his long term health because I doubt there's any type of prognosis so soon after chemo.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma is also a progressive cancer, so it's likely he had it for quite some time. While there's an 80% chance that he'll live longer than 5 years (which is when a patient is deemed "cured"), the cancer could return quickly after remission.

Also, it's not as if there's different cancer treatments depending on wealth. Insurance companies don't say "Oh, well he can't have that drug because he's not a millionaire". While Berry may be able to afford experimental trials, I'd be surprised if he did anything other than standard treatment at this stage.

It's not out of the question that he could be back next year.

Until a prognosis has been shared with the public, we're all in the dark.

I welched dude. Already been covered.

Are you a doctor?

Mario Lemieux had the same thing and came back two months after Kemo and played for years.
