Trai Turner pushing Eric Berry to join the Panthers

[blackcat]

The only thing Boston was good for was making videos with Sir Purr for the in-game 'entertainment'.

[imminent rogaine]

Sure, sign him up or Boston or anyone. I’m ready to throw Vernon Butler back there at this point.

If only he were a free safety......

In his prime I would have no problem playing him as a FS, but too much uncertainty now. Those achilles injuries are hard to recover from.

Yeah, pre-Achilles Berry damn sure wouldn't be on the open market like this for long, either. It is a damn shame that injury happened. He was an unbelievable player.

yea man that game on opening night vs the Patriots in 2017 was an amazing game, he was all over Gronk. Then the achilles happened.

Berry was set to get $12.4 mil but was cut instead because he cannot perform with the nagging injuries that plague him now especially with his heel problems.

 He’s got what’s called a Haglund’s deformity in that Achilles. That’s a bone spur that basically digs into the Achilles.

If he has plans surgery to correct this then maybe we can bring him in and go from there.

He's only 29, on a 1-2 year deal paired with Reid you can't ask for too much of a better back end duo. Given injury concerns and the market should come at a modest cost if we were to inquire I'd imagine. I would still like to see us draft another FS, as I'm not sold on Gaulden, but Reid, Berry, Gualden, Rookie / Jones I would not be mad about it. 

i also wouldn't be mad to see Boston return and FINALLY be the FS, a lot of his stint here was at the SS, and IMO a little out of his skill set. Can't deny he created INT's while he was here. Just wan't great at run support. 

boston is horrible in space and needs to not be a free safety anywhere in the league

I'll take "Things I never wanted to think about" for a hundred, Alex.

Well he did have cancer, so that is a large chunk of that.  I think the other is from him tearing his Achilles.

That was in 2014. The Achilles tear was in the first game of 2017, and he sat out most of 2018 with a heel injury which was related to a bone spur on the Achilles.

From what I’ve heard, Berry’s injury isn’t getting better unless he gets surgery which he won’t do.  No point in signing him 

[TheCasillas]

signing him would be a different take on us signing a veteran for the secondary.

[Cpt slay a ho]

He was getting up to speed last season towards the end for the chiefs, that injury is a big concern seeing as the top two other fa we signed are also coming off injury. Still would like the move if it’s cheap, but there’s still haha, Phillips, and Boston our there.

and people boo booing on Boston must have not watch his last two seasons, he’s progressed mightily since his departure from here

Doesn't make any sense. Eric Reid is the most box SS in the league and needs a free flowing FS for this to work.

On their draft profiles, Reid was listed as a FS and Berry a SS.

Berry also ran a 4.47 to Reid's 4.53.

Rivera has talked about the importance of the safeties in our defense being interchangeable. LEMME DREAM!
