**** you Eric Berry

[dlphg9]

**** you right in the eye. Thanks for having such a big ego and having such a enormous role in losing the AFC championship game. You cant hold Jordan Lucas' jock now. You can keep all that money, but dear God please just retire, so you dont have to get brutally raped by the football equivalent of a guy who can't get it up anymore.

Now, what? If he CAN'T pass a physical, 80% of his remaining contract becomes guaranteed? What in the actual ****? Dorsey did that stupid shit, didn't he? He owes us a first round pick for Dee Ford after we tag and trade him now. Christ.

**** it, cut him anyway and save what you can. We need bodies that can actually produce, not cap leeches trying to make the homeless look en vogue.

It's part of the CBA, if a player can't pass a physical in the offseason 80% of his contract for the upcoming season is guaranteed.

It just happened with Dee Ford this past offseason.

Ok, I'm getting all emotional without the facts here, lol.

Still, Berry is doing nothing more than putting the Chiefs in a bind, even if he is playing by the rules. I still say cut him June 1st. What do you think?

The illiterate bum only knows how to say, "It's complicated". He's kind of like Groot, just not as tough.

Even opening up a chance for someone else even a JAG is better than what we have now.

But Berry of course played the PR game to paint the Chiefs as assholes and then there ya go..

I've always been someone who thinks players should get all they can but as a fan of this team it chaps my ass that Eric Berry has been the highest paid player at his position since the day he walked in the league the Chiefs stood by him even paying him when they didn't have to...and now we get this.

But ultimately it's on the team. They let him play them and have continued to do it for 2 years.

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyup.

What is the requirement for even giving a physical
You cant cut him w/o a physical ?

You mean in general? I think a team can cut any player for any reason they want, just look at the Kareem Hunt fiasco. But, the player naturally has the right to grieve it with the union if they feel like they're being wronged.

Only way Berry not on this team next year is if he retires

So why would he want to pass a physical on March 1st then? That pretty much sums up the fact that he wont play next year.

The next round of players are going to need to understand that the CBA is what's getting in the way of that contract they seek.

He doesn't, he wants to make sure if they move on he guarantees himself the most money and gives them the greatest reason to not cut him.

If he can't pass that physical the Chiefs basically don't save anything cutting him.

Players already get jobbed on contracts so I can see why it's in there, if you want that out you're going to have to give in on a ton of other things..like no franchise tag.

What might be nice is to have the Chiefs play the game, have their Doc's say he's fine (pass the physical), and force his agent to prove his player is ****ing broke-dick (again).

They've got Docs, we've got Docs; they've got lawyers, we've got lawyers; play the game.

Chiefs are losing this game....it's also a bad look to other players. It's probably best to just move on and wish him well and deal with it so you can not have his cap hit for another year.
