I don't believe for a second this wasn't already a known issue. The exact same foot was bothering him a year ago. The diagnosis may have become public only recently, but this was already a known issue. [Reply]

But according to CP Berry is this great guy who leads by example. In fact all he is is just another greedy piece of shit athlete who only cares about himself. He will keep taking money that he doesn't deserve like the asshole douche he is. [Reply]

Ehh, he’s still got some to lose. The Chiefs can release him anytime they want after this season. It’s not very ideal, but they can gain cap space regardless. If they feel like he’s not going to be an on-field contributor, I’m sure they will move on. [Reply]
No more bullshit excuses for this team... if Eric Berry is not available to play on Sunday, Andy Reid better still have this team in a must-win mindset to clinch the #1 seed.
If the plan was to be conservative with playing injured players vs. Seattle, and skip ahead to the Raiders game as the must-win game, then there are no excuses allowed. [Reply]

I was agreeing with you, people including me thought the contract was too much. [Reply]
