No Surgery for Eric Berry
Thought this might deserve it's own thread. |

Sounds like someone’s jazzed for another season of EB being day to day.

Don’t throw this on Dorsey. CHunt wanted his inspirational ticket seller. “The five-year, $41.25 million deal for guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif in February. This deal came, like Fisher’s, in Duvernay-Tardif’s first offseason eligible for a second contract. Meanwhile, the Justin Houston and Eric Berry contract talks simmered—cap guru Trip MacCracken was let go last month—and the team has spent the past couple years perilously close to the salary cap.” |

The article in The Athletic said the doctor's expectation was that the foot would 'mend' without surgery. Clearly he wasn't playing at 100pct last season and was in a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't situation which is evidenced by a lot of the comments here. Berry doesn't play? Lazy mother****er. Berry plays at less than 100pct and it shows? Brokedick mother****er. If he had gotten his hand up a split second earlier, he breaks up the pass to Gronk, we're in the Super Bowl, and the narrative changes. I think we'll end up keeping Berry. I realize most of you don't subscribe to that sort of belief, but the Chiefs may find it risky to get rid of both Houston and him at the same time, the two guys who have been the vocal leaders of this defense. (And yes, I realize that this defense was historically bad and can only get better, but the Chiefs front office may feel blowing everything up in one offseason is too drastic.) Not saying I agree or disagree with any of the above, but I suspect this is our reality. |

lol. If they're keeping Berry, they're not doing so for any meaningful contributions on the field.
That day is long past, and there is no risk whatsoever in cutting this player. It's far riskier to put him in situations of importance. If they want to keep him to make speeches to the other players( which would be dumb as **** because he's not actually playing as a team mate and helping to contribute ), and to take a lesser cap hit when cutting him next season, that's fine by me. Just keep his slow ass off the field. |

Yes, I thought Berry would contribute more if he came back last season. I also thought he would only come back if he were healthy. I'm just crestfallen and can hardly look myself in the mirror anymore as this has just consumed every ounce of my being.

I'm just glad we will find out soon enough if he's cut.
I don't want this in limbo during the most important offseason in Chiefs history. |

Berry isn't lazy. He beat cancer, came back not only played in the NFL but played at a Pro Bowl level. His work ethic is legendary even among professional athletes who are notorious for taking care of their bodies.
It is probably one of the reasons he still has the respect of his teammates. They see how hard he is working to get out there and play. You guys act like he is sitting at home playing COD and drinking beer every day. **** outta here that bs. |

Serious question... Are you still thinking he wasn't just out to **** the Chiefs out of money? I mean we all know he has Haglunds, but are you really thinking the way he handled it wasn't to just get his cash and didn't really give a shit how it affected the team?
