oldtimer 8,684 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 not earth shattering news if true.. could he be resigned to an incentive laden contract? Or does he go to the highest bidder? WHB has yet to announce but JC being released is what makes these other deals possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spfdchiefsfan 621 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 WHy would he do that? There are so many teams out there with 100 mill in cap space, Many tems can still throw one heck of a contract at him. I'm 99.8% sure we have seen him in Red and Gold for the last time. Makes me sad!

Spfdchiefsfan 621 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I honestly think they were waiting to sign Berry to announce this. They knew Charles is a fan favorite, so they get to keep one favorite, and maybe they think it will lessen the blow of losing another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser 722 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Eric Berry's home town is Atlanta. He did not get the discount a lot of people figured he would. He got paid what he could from the Chiefs. Eric Berry has made a lot of money His rookie contract was $60 M. He was paid $10.8 M last year. If he stays the entire six years (unlikely), he will earn $78 M more. He is guaranteed to make at least $40 M of that six year contract. So, no less than $110.8 M with a minimum of 11 years, and average of $10.07M per year Jamaal was released to help pay for Eric Berry's contract. He may have released anyway. But, JC earned way less than half of what EB earned. It does not seem right, but it is the way it goes. First contract $27,970,000 2010 $2,003,333 2011 $4,933,333 2012 $4,833,333 2013 $4,333,333 2014 $5,233,333 voided 2015 $7,333,334 voided Second contract 2014 $9,633,333 2015 $7,970,835 2016 $5,312,500 2017 $6,187,500 voided Total of $40,420,000 over 7 years, which is an average of $5.774 M per season.

robgar 1,046 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I am very sad to say this... But its time.. Jamaal definitely gave me some enjoyment the last 9 years or so.. It wouldn't surprise me to see him sign with another team, get hurt again and retire. RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoStud 3,253 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 This the one I did not want to see! I think we will regret this one! Why? Always injured and expensive... The loss isn't that much really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Actually if he gets all 40 of that.... depends on how the contract is structured.. $40 M is guaranteed (includes the $20 M signing bonus). Unless he gets placed in prison for something horrible (which is not going to happen), then he he will be paid the guaranteed money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spfdchiefsfan 621 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Why? Always injured and expensive... The loss isn't that much really. Because I think he's got some left and he is one of my favorites. Plus it's my opinion that I am allowed to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 He's about finished. The Chiefs need to get younger and leaner at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser 722 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 It does not sit well with me. JC was my favorite. I know it makes sense to me, but not in my heart. JC gave us his all, and never put himself above the team. He will be missed. I feel terrible. Almost as bad as when DT was hurt in that terrible ice storm. I need some time, but all things heal in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhataLerror 370 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 JC gave us his all, and never put himself above the team. Except for the time he held out in 2014. He's one of the reasons the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
