Yeah, it came up in another thread yesterday in the Lounge. Here was my response:

I'm not 100% certain on this but this is my recollection:
Players can be added to, and removed from, the NFI list at any time. There's no limits like with IR. Also, players on the NFI list do not get paid like players on PUP and IR do.
While you may be technically correct that Berry CAN be cut, do you honestly think the Chiefs will? They could have designated him for NFI at any time last year and had nearly the same outcome as what actually happened (he didn't play all year and stood on the sidelines). All they would have saved is his weekly game check.
The Chiefs aren't cutting Eric Berry. It would be great if they would consider it but they've been uber-nice to him all along. I don't see that changing now.

To me, that's what it comes down to. It doesn't really matter if they CAN cut him, I honestly don't think they WILL.
