Aaron Berry isn’t currently with an NFL team but the league is taking away games just the same. From mlive.com’s Anwar Richardson via twitter:

The Detroit Lions parted ways with Berry following two arrests between OTAs and training camp. Berry was arrested for DUI and followed it up a few weeks later with a second arrest after brandishing a weapon at pedestrians. He was not claimed on the waiver wire following his release and he is still a free agent, even as a number of NFL teams cycle bodies in and out of camp.

Concerns over his character have obviously been enough to keep NFL teams away but the three game suspension should add to that. Is there a team out there that will be desperate enough to overlook Berry’s troubles AND be patient enough to wait out a three game suspension? Even before news of the suspension broke, national writers were quick to suggest teams should look elsewhere.

What do you think, will Aaron Berry eventually get another chance in the NFL?
