Why an Eric Berry return makes no sense for the Chiefs

A somewhat logical path can be formed between Points A and B, at least on the surface, for those wanting to draw the line between Eric Berry as a free agent option and the Kansas City Chiefs. It goes something like this:

  • The Chiefs just lost their starting free safety in Juan Thornhill with a torn ACL.
  • The Chiefs have a former All-Pro safety still sitting as an available free agent.
  • Berry has had all kinds of time to rest and heal from his nagging foot/ankle injuries.
  • Steve Spagnuolo is an ideal coach to resurrect Berry’s career and use him in aggressive ways.
