I was actually half serious about Berry's contract. What prevents a team/player from ripping up a contract every year if they both agree to the terms?
Could they spread out his cap hit to essentially nothing for the next 2 years...and play the waiting game to see if he every recovers? Then if he's never able to play again...agree to kick him down the difference in an injury settlement. By the time they know...the cap will have increased. They can spread that new 2020 deal out for as long as they want..
Berry's situation is a rarity...at least I would think. Signing a record deal with a ton of guaranteed $$$ then only playing a part of one game after...and possibly retiring but not doing so because you want your millions. The Chiefs essentially cant cut/release him...so they just repeat "week to week".
