Eric Berry plans to return to the NFL in 2020, Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports.

The former Chiefs safety worked out for the Cowboys but did not play in 2019. Garafolo said that was by design, giving Berry time to recover physically and mentally.

Berry, 31, has played only four games, including the postseason, over the past three seasons. A ruptured Achilles sidelined Berry for nearly two full seasons.

Sounds like long odds to make it back.

 

[speedkilz88]

He didn't play in 2019 because the Cowboys doctors didn't like what they saw.

His five Pro Bowls and three All-Pros will interest some team enough at least to take a look-see.

That will buy him some workouts and possibly a decent offer.

Seems like he's been away from the game longer than just one year.

There are 31 other teamS that also weren’t interested.

That’s because he only played 2 games in 2018 and one game in 2017.

There are 31 other teamS that also weren’t interested.

Most of the didn’t need help at S - we do.

 

[Stash]

Did he have Achilles surgery?

 

[OmerV]

Most of the didn’t need help at S - we do.

Certainly all 31 one aren’t perfectly set up at safety, yet still none felt he was worth signing.

Most of the didn’t need help at S - we do.

Somebody picked all those safeties in the draft

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Guess it come down to which Berry are you getting.....former All-Pro or injured players

 

[Kingofholland]

I would be shocked to see him back, the choice not to play this season wasn't really his. He obviously was interested in playing otherwise he wouldn't have gone on visits and workouts. Now maybe there were teams that offered him the vet minimum that he opted not to accept, but the injury he's dealing is really a pain toletence thing that he'll likely continue to deal with without further intervention.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Waste of roster spot.

 

[Jarv]

I wouldn't mind bringing him to camp with no bonus and no loss if he is cut before the season starts.

 

[blueblood70]

maybe he got tons of stem cells and other treatments and ready for one or 32 great seasons to get some closure..?

I mean he could be a really good 3rd Safety used in situational dime and nickel etc etc limit his snaps for the right price better them those other guys that came in last season as backups..

 

[Ranched]

Berry was linked to the Browns & Cowboys in '19 as well. Pass on this guy. Too old for Dallas and too many issues.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He didn't play in 2019 because the Cowboys doctors didn't like what they saw.

Thanks for the insider info.

For those that don’t know, speedkilz is a medical assistant in the team’s dental office.

 

[ItzKelz]

He is only a great name at this point in his career. We need a great safety.

 

[JBond]

Did he have Achilles surgery?

He did not have surgery to correct the problem that lead to him missing the majority of the past three seasons.

 

[Hadenough]

Achilles tendon rupture is way worse than an ACL injury. The chances of a full recovery to where he was at his playing days before that are pretty much gone. Especially for a S having to explode and change direction.
