The former All-Pro returner selection is set to sign a one-year, $2 million contract, per a league source.
Berrios receives a $300,000 signing bonus, a $1.3 million base salary, $11,765 per game active roster bonuses, and a $200,000 playtime incentive clause.
Berrios was targeted four times last season and had zero catches before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 20.
Berrios is represented by Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey.
