Eric Berry Released!
It's done. The spirit is free. (Don't go towards the light.)

This is what drives me nuts about ****ing reeruns on this site using anything that Andy Reid or anyone in this organization says as evidence to prove their point. They will literally always give the company line and wont ever say anything negative or ground breaking.

I could understand the 2018 off season and 2019 season as probably being within his control. I think it was a matter of weighing things out on a weekly basis between him and the team? Thats what it seemed like. I think the Chiefs wanted him there considering the garbage play they had at safety this past season. Maybe he wanted to be there and play but both he and the Chiefs didn’t know when he’d be ready? Or maybe in his head he thought he could play but physically it was a different story. Injuries and dealing with them could be a tricky animal. But the bottomline is we don’t know. It is easy to misinterpret these situations imo. |

He thought he could play through or at least manage the pain but couldn’t. It was a wrong decision but nothing that was obviously malicious that he just wanted to steal money.

Berry was an albatross around this team's ****ing neck. He was standing in the way of Mahomes achieving greatness for this team and the city of KC.
I smiled when I saw he had been released. It didn't have to be this way, and it's sad, but when you get down to it, the only person to blame in this situation is Berry himself. Whatever, though. Berry got paid. I'm sure he doesn't give a shit what some fans online think of him. Therefore, I don't feel sorry for him. Not one bit. |

But he knew he would get paid regardless. Which, IMO, influenced the course he chose regarding a plan of action.

Interesting nugget from Nate Taylor on The Athletic:
“For much of this offseason, the Chiefs didn’t want to release Berry. The team was optimistic a few weeks ago when Berry traveled to Green Bay to get a second opinion from Dr. Bob Anderson on his right heel, the part of his body that forced him to miss 15 games last season. Anderson told Berry, a five-time Pro Bowler, that his heel could mend itself without a procedure. Berry wanted to return to the team to prove himself yet again, but the Chiefs ultimately decided that his inability to stay on the field — in playing just four games in the last two seasons — and his large contract were too much of a gamble.” Last edited by pugsnotdrugs19; 03-14-2019 at 12:25 AM.. |

What's bad is we now have confirmation in the offseason from new medical evaluations that line up with what we heard many months ago, which is that this doesn't require surgery and it's a pain management issue. If that has been the case all along, then why should any team trust him to actually play the game at this point? It's just going to be the same thing the Chiefs watched him do all season. "I don't feel good enough to play" even though the doctors say you're healthy enough. |

Weird. But I think the Chiefs made the right call. They basically had to roll the same set of dice that they rolled last year had he stayed. |
