Chiefs S Eric Berry becomes highest paid safety in NFL History today after signing a 6 year, $60 million contract with $34 million in guarantees.
Rookie Cap!!!! There must, and I think there will be, a cap on rookie contracts when the next collective bargaining agreement is agreed upon. The fact that Eric Berry is now guaranteed to make $34 million dollars over the next six years of his life no matter what he does is crazy, especially because HE HASN'T PLAYED A DOWN IN THE NFL! Not even in a preseason game! Sure, he had a great career at Tennessee and looks to translate well in the NFL, but come on!
Sorry for the rookie contract rambling tonight...
Eric Berry will be a starter from day 1. The Chiefs made a great pick selecting Berry who will be an impact player right from the get-go. He is a very aggressive player who moved up and played more in the box his junior season. During his first two seasons he amassed 12 interceptions playing free safety, returning 3 for touchdowns.
Prediction: Chiefs needed to seriously upgrade their defense (29th in scoring defense, 30th in yards allowed in 2009) and did so by adding the best available defensive player.
90 Tackles
3 Interceptions
1.5 Sacks
1 Fumble Forced
And Rodney Harrison said Eric Berry will pass his 30.5 career sacks
