Cowboys showing interest in Eric Berry

[dallasdave]

Dang... mine get me cups.
Shows how much they love me.

And protect you or the jewels

 

[Cowfan75]

Player who can no longer be an impact player released. Cowboys interested.

 

[droopdog7]

I’d take berry just as a locker room guy.

Damaged goods. Stay away. Far away.

Sounds nasty.

But this is why Jerry built a sports medicine center. Best position to evaluate and treat sports injuries. An edge.

The Achilles injury is what I would be concerned with.

WHY HE IS WASHED UP

 

[Nerm222]

Based on the posts that I have seen from Chiefs fans, they love the guy, but don't think he can ever play at a high level again. I wonder if the Chiefs approached him about a Sean Lee type restructure before cutting him. He seems to be very highly thought of as a person and leader. I would guess wherever he signs, it will be on a low risk one year deal. I think Dallas should look into the possibility of signing him, but I get the feeling that there is little chance he will become a good starter again for any length of time.

I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to retire.

Broaddus is saying no go on Berry

Good idea. Witten, Lee, Berry. Let’s tie up $15M every year for locker room guys. I can see them now, all standing behind Garrett and nodding as he gives another riveting locker room speech. We would always win the locker room.

Well, they gave the impression they were interested in this whole free agency thing. Mission accomplished.

(No, I don’t actually think Berry would make any significant impact on the team)

 

[cowboyec]

big fan of the player.
Id love to have him here.
good guy...easy to root for.

And if you try surgery and the Achilles takes damage from that.

Waiting for an Achilles to explode is bad news. But that's what makes him a Jerry pick. Jerry will take those risks that other GMs don't want to touch.

 

[BlueStar22]

on one leg he's better than anything we can trot out there

Woods is pretty good...yeah could...be an upgrade to Heath.

 

[OmerV]

It's a great money making move. It's gonna happen

If he can’t play, then no it’s not.

My take is if he can pass the physical and will accept a cheap contract, I have no problem taking a shot. But I wouldn’t like the idea of committing too much to a guy that has missed almost all of the last 2 seasons.

I honestly wonder if it was Berry that was a Longhorn and it was Earl who was a Volunteer, that the responses would be the same.

Neither are young, and neither have been particularly healthy the past 3 or so years. But they both have a better skill set than our current Safeties.

If you really wanted ET, then I don't see how you could logically be so against EB.

JMHO

Here's the big difference for me.

Earl Thomas missed two games in 2017 due to a hamstring injury. A nuisance, but not a serious injury (unless your Miles Austin).

He then missed 12 games in 2018 after breaking his leg. A more serious injury, but one people fully recover from.

That's a total of 14 games over two years.

Conversely, Eric Berry has only played in 3 games over the past two years. Due to a ruptured Achilles in 2017 and an issue with a heel deformity on the other foot that kept him out nearly all of 2018.

A much bigger and scarier issue.

 

[starman22]

lol god i hope not. But it happens then it happens. ill add his jersey to the other 80 that i have.

I just dont think he will be available for 16 games.

Wow, do you really have 80 jerseys, who are they?

 

[OmerV]

Wow, do you really have 80 jerseys, who are they?

Well there’s Curvin Richards, and Scott Laidlaw, and Marv Bateman, and Clint Stoerner, and David LaFluer, and Efren Herrera and Shante Carver, and Steve Pelluer and ....

Like Lee, protect the team against injury, make game incentives and play time incentives. The contract doesn't have to be that cheap if it's protected against not playing.
