SarcasticOne 24 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Some of you remember I've been on Berry's back for months now. I started the threat about him (not being worthy) of the Ring of Honor. And in all of my questions I've had in the past, I just remember that the Coach knows two things, BBQ and football. But this is the first time I thought outright the Chiefs were wrong. What does this save the club? A couple million versus, what, 16 million in dead money? We should remember this when the discussion of an upcoming free agent comes up and someone writes "Pay the Man!" At least we know why Berry had the black makeup below his eyes. It was because he is a bandit that just made of with, what, $30-40 million buck for next to nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you complain about him for months and the club does something about it and now you complain about that too? Huh? By the way the Chiefs save 9.5 million vs CAP in 2019 with this move.

hankstromboli 25 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I’m ok with this think about us staring scandrick and amerson. We went with them forever and stunk. Berry didnt play for two years so no loss there. Throw in Lucas, watts, Murray and smith and we played way better - Rookies We can address positions in the draft and won’t miss Houston, Berry, or ford. We can only go up from a last place defense.

All this dead money everybody keeps talking about having is a just a number in the game of salary cap management. It might be as simple as Clark getting tired of having to hand him a check for a half a million dollars of real money every week the last couple years and not getting much back to show for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can't help but wonder about is, when Berry decided to have surgery, he was asked if he'd be ready to play and he said the same thing he's said for every game this year "Well, will just have to see, dog, if I be ready to play or not." If that was the case, couldn't the Chiefs file some sort of grievance against him for refusing medical care, refusing to play, but cashing the check?

I have mixed feelings about Berry's release. I understand the business side, but this sucks from a human side. I will get a Berry jersey now...I never get one of an active Chief... then you can get a ford & Houston Jersey as well...oh and you can be the first on your street to have a Incompletrius Harris jersey LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAChiefsFan79 136 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Eric Berry was my favorite Chief on the roster until the Mahomes era. This one will sting, but I understand it has to be done. Will miss you Berry and good luck moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHard 2,061 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Yep. Wish him luck. Bet he would be a good DB coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I'm not sad. Just interested in what will emerge on the field. I'm nostalgic about Berry, Houston, DJ, in their prime but excited to have a new era, where we can win a superbowl with a terrifying offense and a middle of the road defense made of very young, fast, aggressive, well-coached kids running the hell all over the place on the cheap, so that we can afford a 200 million dollar MVP quarterback contract and playmakers. I understand that there is an up-and-coming young safety in next year's draft who is Berry's youngest brother. His first name is Dingle, but I have also heard that he is an asshole. I have a feeling he will be wiped out his senior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expecting a complete turn around this year, but we only need to be better and ascending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I think Veach had no issues with cutting someone he did not sign. I figured the issue would be with Clark, who took over his extension. Looks like Clark wrote the check to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azchief21 5,278 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Veach has a long way to go to prove he's capable of acquiring defensive talent. We know Andy is buying the groceries on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had the surgery his salary would be guaranteed and we wouldn't be able to cut him so he probably doesn't need it or it won't do any good.

dhitter 1,426 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I was a huge Berry fan. He was the guy I wanted the Chiefs to draft back in 2010. I just hate how all this played out. He was great when he was on the field. So many highlights. Cutting him was absolutely the right decision. We needed to move on. Berry was nothing more than a total distraction this past year. His future health is totally uncertain. I wish him well and would not be surprised if he wound up being signed by the Browns or the Raiders.

Hopefully it all works out for him in the future. I wouldn't be surprised to see Reid bring him as a coach after he decides to stop playing, they looked to have a real good relationship.
