And then there was Berry

Ill admit that i have watched other teams like the pats and cowgirls sign all there picks with plenty of time before camp. Then there was us without berry or our number twos or threes. But that all changed yesterday. Chiefs signed mccluster, arena, asmoah, so all thats left is Mr. Berry. Faiders just signed mcclain so were waiting on bradford and suh so we can see what the top five picks will be priced at. So i hope it happens soon come on berry get to camp

I just hope that he is there for the start of camp that will be a big help for him and the team.

This should happen today or tomorrow and I cannot wait to see who posts it first on Chiefs Crowd!

Report: Chiefs, Eric Berry 'Close' To A Deal - Arrowhead Pride

Let's get it done! If we get him signed before other first rounders start signing, I have no doubt in my mind it's because Berry told his agent to just get it done so he can get in camp.

Haley seems pretty confident it will happen before the first practice. I was surprised to see he was so confident, so there must be something in the works close to being done.

It would be great to get this done before training camp.

Unfortunately, his agent has refuted this:

Personally, I think that's just sports agent pride/arrogance seeping through. They love long hold outs because it feeds the perception that they drive a hard bargain and are better at getting top dollar for their guys.

I agree that it's the agents holding all this up. Berry doesn't seem like the kind of guy to be greedy, though I'm sure he's going to love his paycheck.
