Chiefs Berry foot hurting him - Page 5

Eric Berry didn’t practice today as “his foot was bothering him,” per Andy Reid.

Eric Berry’s foot was bothering him so no work today for him. Not encouraging for his ability to play Sunday or beyond

Eric Berry did not practice for #Chiefs today. Calf/heel was sore and they backed him off, Andy Reid says.

I just realized I fucked up my calculations...

This is correct except it doesn't show what happens in year 2 correctly. With a June 1 designation, all guaranteed money stays on the books for the current year at it's current rate. The remainder accelerates to year 2.

Berry has 2,950,000 in guaranteed salary in 2019 and 4,000,000 in prorated bonus, both of which stay on the cap totaling 6,950,000. That saves the team $9,550,000 in 2019.

In 2020, the remaining 8,000,000 of prorated bonus money accelerates to the cap which means the actual cap savings in 2020 is $5,500,000.

Berry is around for at least one more year. They need to just shut him down at this point and get surgery done.

If you can move on from Berry and Houston you have the money to keep your guys and add some players to build a competent defense.

Fuck that. Send him home so he can't get injured and cut him

Probably true. Especially if they don’t expect him to suit up in the playoffs now.

WoW!!!

It was so tough to tell he lost his desire to win and be part of the team.

Hopefully this will be the last of the charades.

He shouldn't be, why pay a guy who doesn't play? Get that money back as soon as possible.

Ok well if you don't think they can add any players worth a shit then this debate is pointless and watching the team is too.

I'm just saying what the Chiefs are going to do. I don't think they're going to cut bait for awhile and they need to let him get that other heel recovered finally.

I don't see Clark swallowing his pride yet.

Between Patrick Mahomes' rookie contract and Eric Berry not playing a full game since signing as the highest paid safety, I wonder if the Chiefs have the NFL's best and worst individual contracts.

What does a DB with 2 achilles surgeries offer?

You'd likely use those funds to hammer out extensions for Hill and Jones, I'd think. Use the $38 mllion in cap space now to get your free agents.
