Cowboys Hosting S Eric Berry For Visit

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Cowboys have scheduled a visit with free agent S Eric Berry for Tuesday.

This is certainly interesting news, given that the Cowboys have been in the market for a few years now.

Berry is clearly among the best available options at the position, but there are obvious injury concerns for him moving forward after he suffered a torn Achilles and has been dealing with some related issues. 

This is the first reported interest in Berry since he became available last week. 

Berry, 29, is a former first-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2010. He worked his way back from Hodgkin’s lymphoma and managed to produce an impressive 2015 season.

Berry played out his rookie contract with the team before receiving the team’s franchise tag last year. However, the two parties ultimately agreed to a new six-year, $78 million contract that includes $29.8 million guaranteed.

Berry was set to make base salaries of $12.4 million and $9.4 million over the next two years when the Chiefs designated him as a post-June 1 release. 

In 2018, Berry appeared in two games and recorded 11 tackles and no interceptions for the Chiefs.
