WOW! That’s a lot of money for a rookie Safety. I think he’s being looked at as our defensive savior like how we paid DT back in the 90′s. DT always had special privelages, I think it will be the same way for Berry. Time to go buy a Berry jersey!!!

This right here is thrilling… I’m telling ya…remember when we drafted him and how big he was smiling and that look of his–he stood out so much more than the other first-rounders in my opinion! He looked so happy to be a Chief!! He is gonna contribute so much to KC!! Man, Tony G screwed up by leaving us, I just know it! Here we go, we’re coming back! This is flippin’ thrilling!!!! August is TOMORROW!!!!

Gonzalez bailed on us big time. I have no sympathy for somebody that walks out on the team.
