Odum has been pretty good and you would cut him. Nah this isn’t happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indycrazy1287 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I guess he’s an upgrade over geathers, as long as he’s healthy I wouldn’t mind the signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I forgot about Geathers. That means he would be gone. Geathers is a captain though so not sure how much more veteran leadership Betty would bring. He clearly wouldn’t be the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odum has been pretty good and you would cut him. Nah this isn’t happening. Let him compete and cut the loser. That’s a plus if Geathers and Berry are signed for back up roles and we pick the best of the group to start the season. Berry isn’t the 2016 guy anymore. My expectations would be minimal.

rockywoj Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Being that he is already a free agent, does that mean Berry could be signed right now, without having to wait for free agency? That’s how I understand that it works for already unrestricted free agents, that they are free to sign at any time, thereby getting a jump on the wide open free agency period.

EastStreet Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 He's also linked to the Browns (Dorsey). While I think the scenario is possible, doubt it's close. I like Berry and would take him in a heartbeat if healthy. Shouldn't cost a bunch. He tried to come back too soon IMO. The talking said his "new" tape looks great, and the ankle/heel is good. If they do bring him on, hope the contract is highly linked to availability and game checks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockywoj Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Welp, I’d be all for this, then. If he’s physically back, he could be a very effective, experienced field general back there. There’s been plenty of safeties over the years that were quite fantastic well into their 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts1324 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 He never did actually retire. Just wanted to be fully healthy for when he did come back. I love Eric Berry as both a player and as a person, however; not sure why he would want to come her to be our 3rd safety. Would he start over Willis??

chad72 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I hope his new tape looks good, my last memories of him are not good whatsoever. Once they got Tyrann Mathieu for Eric Berry, a lot of things changed for the Chiefs. A cheap 1-year deal, what could go wrong? We were never contending for a SB this year anyways. I am far less thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hammonds Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I haven't ready any of the articles, nor watched any of the videos. But my base reaction is: "Eric Berry wants to play for the Colts" and "Colts are offering Eric Berry a contract" are very different. I'll wait until the 2nd statement happens, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR91 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Not sure how much Id like this. Berry's talent is not in question, however he has dealt with a lot injuries and hasn't played in over a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor was he was talking to the Browns last year (because of the Dorsey connection), was close, and Saganey and Kovash loved him. Those guys are both still there. They said on NFL.com he still has a "bridge" there, or whatever that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you want the Colts to sign luck considering he hasn't played either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
