My most favorite B-Train moment: sacking Kurt Warner 4 times when he was with the Giants!

How ironic....

Maybe I am alone but I think Berry was the best pass rusher we had. He was to injury prone to play every down but he got more pressure PER Down Played then I think anybody on the team. I will miss him.

Berry was a terrific signing too bad we didn't get him a couple of years earlier but he was a part of the turnaround in this organization.

I'm pretty saddened by this, but I thank him for all he has contributed. I was hoping we'd have him for 1 more year as a situational pass rusher and mentor to some of the younger talent we have/will have.

All in all though, good career and I take my hat off to him.

I hope he gets to stay with the organization in some capacity. He can show rookies and other vets what can happen to your career with a little perseverance and work ethic. Maybe he could even be an assistant position coach for DL/LB.

He was a great signing and terrific player, but he just doesn't have it any more. Thanks for all ya gave us, buddy, and go have a well-earned rest. You helped turn around this team and we thank you for it.

It was pretty easy to see it coming, but hopefully he can and wants to stay on with the Cardinals.

IMHO I don't believe this will happen. Berry has aspirations of going into the broadcasting field and has gone to school/camps to do just that. I also think he's going to be really good at it.

Thanks for what you gave us Bert, We appreciate it and wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

Has been one of my favorites from the time he signed here. A great guy. I'm really glad he didn't sign with someone else this offseason, but retired as a Cardinal. I know it doesn't matter all that much, but we haven't had a lot of good players finish their career here.

Best of luck B-Train.

Thanks for all the great memories. I will miss saying "B-TRAIN" after he made a play.

12 years, a magical comeback into the NFL, and a lot of sacks. He should be proud.

Good player! Awesome human being! Thanks Bert for the fun times. One of my favorite cardinal memories is you running around the U of P hoisting the NFC champs trophy above your head! The look on your face said it all!

Nothing but the best to you and yours!

He was one of our best free agent signings. Not only our best pass rusher over the last several years but a leader on the team. Thanks and best of luck B-Train!!!

You are correct. I think we will see him sooner rather then later as Rob Moores(left for a coaching job) replacement in the Game Day Radio programing.

Possible more?

A sad day in Cardinal history. I'll miss him, but I'm glad he went out on his own terms. Good luck, B-train.

BB is just an awesome player and person. I'm sure he has many, many opportunities post football.

Thanks Bert!
