Eric Berry and the Kansas City Chiefs?failed to reach a long-term deal prior to Fridays deadline to extend the Pro Bowl safetys contract off his one-year franchise tag worth $10,806,000, the team announced.There was a 4 p.m. ET deadline for designated franchise players to sign long-term contracts. A source told ESPNs Adam Caplan that both sides had one conversation Friday, with no movement toward a deal.Unfortunately, we were unable to reach a long-term agreement with Erics representatives before todays deadline, Chiefs GM John Dorsey said in a statement. Although both sides would have preferred a different outcome, Eric is a true professional and a tremendous football player, and we know that he will continue to be a leader in our locker room.We look forward to resuming our discussions on a long-term agreement when the negotiating window reopens after the season.Berry, 27, received the Chiefs non-exclusive franchise tag on March 1. He is allowed to negotiate with other teams but any club that signs him will have had to surrender two first-round picks to the Chiefs.As he hadnt signed the tender, Berry stayed away from the Chiefs offseason activities and didnt participate in the teams minicamp.This is the second consecutive year the Chiefs have gone down to the July 15 deadline with a franchised player. Last year on deadline day, Kansas City and linebacker Justin Houston agreed to a six-year, $101 million deal that included $52.5 million guaranteed.Berry capped a remarkable 2015 season by being named NFL Comeback Player of the Year by The Associated Press.He was diagnosed in November 2014 with Hodgkin lymphoma, shortly after complaining of tightness in his chest after a game against the Oakland Raiders.Berry, buoyed by his conditioning sessions even through his chemotherapy treatments, was cleared to return to football by both personal physicians and team doctors shortly before the start of training camp last summer.Things progressed in stages from there. Berry quickly was allowed to participate in contact drills, earned his starting spot back and -- over the last several games of the season -- played as well as he had at any time before his illness.Sources told ESPNs Dan Graziano there were some unusual aspects to the negotiations that had to do with his health situation. The Chiefs tried to put in a $20 million disability policy, and asked Berry to pay the $2 million premium, which Berry didnt like it.Berry finished third on the Chiefs in tackles and had two interceptions. After the season he played in the fourth Pro Bowl of his six-year NFL career.Berry joined the Chiefs as a first-round draft pick in 2010 from Tennessee.ESPN Chiefs reporter Adam Teicher contributed to this report.Wholesale Shoes Black Friday .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open.

The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far.England shouldnt expect too much of Jos Buttler if he is brought in to replace struggling Ben Duckett for the third Test against India, says Mike Atherton.Ducketts place is under scrutiny after the Northamptonshire batsman struggled once again against Indias slow bowlers to return scores of five and nought in Englands 246-run second Test defeat, at Visakhapatnam.It means the 22-year-old has scored just 105 runs in his five Test innings so far, a tally which includes 56 off 64 balls against Bangladesh on a turning surface in Dhaka last month. Ian Botham believes England need to drop the struggling Ben Duckett But Buttler has not played Test cricket since he was dropped for Jonny Bairstow ahead of the third Test in Sharjah against Pakistan after a run of form that yielded 156 runs in 12 knocks - his overall record in that series reading 34 runs in four knocks - and he is currently short on match practice.The only option England have if they do choose to replace Duckett is Buttler, former England captain Atherton told Sky Sports.It would be difficult to see England go back to Gary Ballance straight away, given that they left him out after the Bangladesh series. Alastair Cook insists Ben Duckett has an England future The advantage of picking Buttler is that hes a right-hander, who have looked more comfortable against Indias off-spinners. The problem with Buttler, though, is very similar to Duckett; when he played Test cricket, he didnt show he had a defensive technique when pitches started to deteriorate and against spin in the UAE - which was when he was leftt out this time last year.ddddddddddddYou are always a better player when you are out of the side but that is a possible option. David Gower has some batting tips for struggling fellow left-hander Ben Duckett England coach Trevor Bayliss claimed in the wake of Englands defeat that no player is working harder in the nets than Duckett, who was bowled in the first innings after showing all three stumps to Ravichandran Ashwin.The left-hander looked to bat further across his stumps in the second dig but fell when he attempted to sweep the spinner, gloving a catch behind to wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha.Asked by Sky Sports reporter Ian Ward if the time has now come to take Duckett out of the firing line, England captain Alastair Cook said: It shows how hard international cricket is. There is no hiding place. Paul Farbrace admits that Ben Duckett must improve his batting technique You play and score a lot of runs for your county away from the microscope and then within a couple of dismissals the media and TV are all over it. The whole enormity of the situation can impact the guy.Ben is a very talented cricketer - theres no doubt about it.
