Chiefs Fuller taking #29 (Berry) jersey number - Page 2

I thought this was interesting...considering Berry hasn't signed with anyone. Shortly after Fuller talked about it...NFL.com announces 3 teams are interested in Berry.

Obviously, what happened last season didn't sit well with KC brass...otherwise they would usually hold off on issuing his number a few months after he was released.

It was a "Um, yeah...you're not coming back. Have a nice life." move..."enjoy the money you stole from us."

I don't have a huge problem with retiring the numbers of absolute legends.

KC already has 10 retired numbers, and Joe Delany's 37 isn't OFFICIALLY retired but it's clearly off limits as well. The list includes a lot of great players, but it's excessive.

There are other ways to honor legends.

Berry was a great player when healthy, but he's not a sacred cow. There are a limited amount of numbers and KC has ALREADY retired too many. This isn't some direct insult to Eric Berry.

Fuller already had a number...

Now he has the same number that he had in Washington. It probably meant something to him.

I find the thread interesting only because the chances Berry comes back on the cheap went from five percent to zero.

No shit, and now he has a new one. The number he would have requested if not held by an all pro player. Yanno who's not holding that number anymore?

But yeah, I'm sure it was KC who went to him and were like "Hey Kendall, we want to throw passive aggressive shade at Eric Berry, so we're changing your number to insult him."

I mean I'm sure it wasn't just Fuller wanting to use the number he's had for most of his career or anything. That requires zero assumptions and simply awareness of the obvious. It was all about KC being mean to Eric Berry, which only assumes that the franchise is petty , resentful. and passive aggressive in their desire to throw shade at former players and kick them while they're down. A totally reasonable thing to just accept credulously.

Are you familiar with Occam's razor?

KC signed a FA safety, drafted one high, and are still high on Watts.

There was always a 0 percent chance. Just like there was no chance of trying bring Houston back.

Well this is awkward

:-) Blackop thinks a player changing his number is a conspiracy against Berry.

Did you think Ben Neimann wearing #56 was a slight to DJ also?

He is taking Albert Lewis 29 did Berry play for us?

Technically it's been available for years.

Berry was my favorite college player and was electric and was my favorite Chief for a time. But yeah, no ring. No way.

I'll always remember the 5th dimension. His college highlight real is one of the best I've seen. Trucking fools.
