Do you have a contract with your employer that provides disability insurance for you personally that would cover your salary for years to come?
If Berry doesn't have a life insurance policy, he's not eligible to apply until 5 years after his cancer went into remission.

They do pay a certain %, though I'm not sure how much. Only thing I know is they pay disability for 6 weeks for maternity leave.
Chiefs should pay the $2 million premium but put themselves as the beneficiary. Make his contract incentive based for the first 2 or 3 years, that way if his cancer returns, the team won't be liable financially or with PR.
Frontload the gauranteed $$ so that he's happy and if he gets cancer later on, we're off the hook.
That could have been discussed and we don't know. Just what I would do
