TENNESSEE
When the Kansas City Chiefs agreed to a contract with former LSU star Tyrann Mathieu earlier this week, fans were excited to see him in the secondary alongside former Tennessee star Eric Berry.
However, the Chiefs apparently had different plans, and released Berry on Wednesday afternoon.
Per a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Chiefs released Berry two days before $7.25 million of his salary would have become guaranteed:
Chiefs released five-time Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry. Had Berry been on KC’s roster Friday, $7.25 million of his salary would have become fully guaranteed.

It’s possible Berry, who has dealt with an Achilles tear and subsequent complications the past two seasons, appearing in only four total games, will re-sign with the Chiefs on a lesser contract.
However, when free agency starts on Thursday, he’ll be free to sign with whatever team he wants to.
Berry sucked at UT and the Chiefs too
I bet you wouldn’t have said that if he played for your team. I can’t stand UT but Berry has always been both an excellent player and person.
Guys, be nice. He’s a UK fan who literally has nothing. His team is in a garbage state with no economic prospects, his team of the century lost to an unranked UT 24-7, and they split in basketball. Bashing cancer survivors to make himself feel good is the only thing keeping him from downing that bottle of oxy, like so many of his non-alumni UK brethren. I imagine consanguineous relationships get old after a bit.
You, sir, are an effing moron.
Why are you insulting morons?
