link Eric Berry, S, to the Cleveland Browns. A lot has transpired since John Dorsey signed Berry to a six-year, $78 million extension with the Chiefs in February of 2017. Achilles and heel injuries limited Berry to four games (including the playoffs) in the past two seasons, including the 2018 AFC title game, when Berry struggled in coverage against Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. Dorsey, meanwhile, ended up leaving Kansas City and taking on the Browns' rebuilding efforts. The 30-year-old Berry, who was released by the Chiefs this offseason, would bring leadership skills and savvy to a safety unit that currently includes just two other veterans (Damarious Randall and Morgan Burnett). The big question is whether the three-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler will be able to stay healthy for an entire season.

Only if his health checks out. His play was really down the past 2 seasons due to injuries.

That's a fair concern.. however, lets look at our depth chart at S: S 42 BURNETT, MORGAN SF19 35 Whitehead, Jermaine W/GB 48 Ponder, Jermaine CF19 S 23 Randall, Damarious T/GB 33 Redwine, Sheldrick 19/4 40 Sankoh, Tigie CF18/EX I see 3 Vets. Burnett, Whitehead and Randall.

I didn’t miss it .. i wanted to comment but this is a Berry thread and i wanted to stay on topic ...  ... I’m not sure why he hasn’t signed yet ... could be a bunch of things ... Didn’t get the money he wanted cause of all the other really good safeties that hit the market and he’s waiting for a TC injury to get more money ... Has an injury and wants to wait til he heals to get a better deal ... As for us i believe he’s a FS and we need a SS ... I dunno ...

I saw it as an article about the top remaining free agents and Brandt speculated on where they could sign. Tre Boston is on that list. He's right above Berry in Brandt's article. Both Boston and Berry have been productive. The concern w/Berry is his injury history. Boston would make more sense in my opinion. Brandt said he had 79 tackles and 3 picks last year for the Cardinals. Either guy would be okay w/me, but I think Boston would make more sense at this point in time.

So he is basically matching up players with teams and he is tying the two together due to Dorsey with KC signing Berry.
As for him coming here, as mentioned by some hopefully if so he will have a clean bill of health. In the article it mentioned can he STAY HEALTHY...if that is the case I think we have some good depth as a safety net...see what I did there...lol

I think you are both missing the Tre Boston part. I can't believe that he's still unsigned. I think the only really surprising part is that he's gone everywhere Wilks has and isn't here, yet. Which makes me wonder: If Wilks hadn't brought him to Arizona last year, would his Unsigned status have started a year sooner? My bet is that both Berry and Boston have been asking for way more money than anyone is willing to pay for aging Safeties and the market is telling them as much while they gamble that some team will have something force them into desperation mode and they will have to pony up those premium dollars for one of them. We are definitely squarely in Camp A - we can wait, and we can do without them.
Browns is the Browns

Safety is very clearly a devalued position at this point. Corner is of the utmost importance.

I agree that corner has a great value, but because of the nature of today's game w/prolific passing attacks, we are seeing more and more nickle and dime defenses.
Due to this, the value of safeties has risen a bit. That's because many teams find it wise to replace their LBers w/a safety rather than a corner because they can not only defend the pass, but are typically better against the run.

You are probably correct, although I can't say that I agree w/our decision. Tre Boston would be a significant upgrade over what we have now.
But again, you are probably correct.

Randal should be a top 5 Safety after this year. We just need one in that group to pan out. I wouldn't be opposed to Berry. I was a huge fan of his coming out of college.
Blocking those who argue to argue, eliminates the argument.

Burnett didn’t inspire much last season and we have no idea how Redwine will be .. I’d be willing to give Berry a one year deal
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
