The Chiefs showed unprecedented support for him....they literally paid him while he was getting treatment. They could have reached an injury settlement and had every right to do so. He wasn't playing football and there was no indication he would ever again. They went above and beyond..
From my understanding, Dorsey wanted to contractually protect the Chiefs...which is his job as GM. It's a smart move as Berry just went through Chemo..and his contract was a blockbuster. You would think EB would understand the financial risk involved in signing him...instead Berry cut him out of the loop...essentially went straight to Hunt.
And now KC has a financial shit-show on it's hands.
