Cardinals DE Bertrand Berry Retires After 12 Years

The “B-train” has finally pulled into the station.

Cardinals defensive end Bertrand Berry, who arrived in Arizona as a free agent with a Pro Bowl splash in 2004, announced his retirement Thursday night after 12 years in the NFL.

The 34-year-old Berry delivered the news on the season’s final installment of the “Big Red Rage,” the weekly radio show he co-hosts.
“I’ve been playing football since I was 9 years old, 25 years, and with it coming to an end there is a little bit of sadness but at the same time it means there is a new beginning,” Berry said. “It’s been a great ride.”

Berry walks away with 65 sacks in his career, including the 14½ he posted during his first year with the Cardinals. Berry finished third on the Cardinals in sacks this season, his six one behind co-leaders Darnell Dockett and Calais Campbell. But adding in the postseason – when Berry posted two sacks – he finished with a team-best eight.

“It’s time,” Berry said. “I’ve given a lot of my life to the game, I have played the game at a high level and I have tried to represent myself the best I could. I think I have played the game the right way, I think I have respected the game and I think I left the game a little better than when I came in.
