Berry (heel) was released by the Chiefs on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Over $7 million of Berry's salary would have become fully guaranteed had Kansas City kept him on the roster through Friday. While the reality of this transaction might be hard to swallow for most Chiefs fans, it's not a huge surprise the organization didn't want to pony up the cash to retain a 30-year-old safety who's been limited to three games over the past two seasons while recovering from devastating Achilles and heel injuries. When he can prove he's fully healthy it shouldn't be too hard for Berry to find a new home.
