Hindsight is awesome but the fact is he appeared to be 100% healthy heading into camp. You really blow the guy up for a season ending surgery over a sore heal? How often if ever has that been predicted?
Do you not think had they KNOWN how this was going to play out they would went another direction?
Its a mess, it sucks but given the options Im not sure they did handle it wrong.

Yur right, They handled it the only way they could have. They can not force him to have surgery when it popped up in TC. They all expected it to calm down and he would play. He would show signs of getting better, then pow, it happens, all season long!

Berry has made roughly $90 million in his career so far and will end up making almost $140 million when it's all said and done despite only being available roughly half the time. A reasonable player would see that their contract is hurting the team and agree to a reduced salary to help the team. Hell, Berry is making more than Tom Brady at this point. Let that sink in.

Honestly. you are acting like the dumbass here

So he starts getting a sore heal in TC, you think they should have immediately scheduled him for season ending surgery? Seriously?

Bingo, spot on, it's all they could do. The doctors were telling him he would be able to play.

John Wall has battled this for years supposedly but got to a point where it was too painful and they did surgery immediately. I'd say if Berry can't play, practice without pain... it's time.
Besides, how much can you really expect Berry to make an impact when he's on a snap count and has been out during the most critical times of games. Hasn't played most of the year and is obviously in pain.

It's wasted time either way, they fully expected him to play this year.

It can, but he heel was not bothering him during the off season. No need to fix something that didn't need to be fixed at the time.
Do you make care repairs when you don't have any issues with it?

Yep, when it was apparent to the FO, they tried to get some help. NYG wanted too much for Collins. They priced him high enough that they figured they will keep him.
