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.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The closest Texas Tech and junior quarterback Patrick Mahomes will get to a bowl game this season is playing rival Baylor in an NFL stadium the day after Thanksgiving.Whats still unclear is if that will be the national passing leaders last game with the Red Raiders (4-7, 2-6 Big 12).Im going to focus on that after the season, Mahomes said about the possibility of bypassing his senior year for early entry in the NFL draft. Im going to go out there with these guys that might not play a football game again and try to get a win and finish on the right note.Texas Tech and Baylor (6-4, 3-4) are both winless in November. They meet in the Dallas Cowboys home stadium for the sixth year in a row.Baylor has lost four in a row since getting bowl eligible with a 6-0 start.We definitely have not given up. Everyone still has the mindset that we need to win, Bears senior center Kyle Fuller said. Its really just a matter of making sure that everyone has decided that if you are out there, you are out there to win.The Red Raiders are coming off a woeful 66-10 loss at Iowa State. They have lost three in a row, and six of seven, and will miss a bowl game for only the third time since 2000.That performance was as embarrassed as Ive been, Texas Tech coach and alumnus Kliff Kingsbury said. Completely unacceptable in every way, shape and form. I take sole responsibility. ... We cant let that game beat us twice.Mahomes said he had never been through anything like that loss in Ames.It was bad overall, and no positive stuff happened in the game at all, he said. Its something we try to move on past.Some other things to watch at AT&T Stadium, where the game is set to be played through 2018:MULTIPLE 5KMahomes, who throws for 406 yards per game and hass 35 passing TDs, goes into the season finale only 243 yards shy of 5,000 total yards.dddddddddddd He is trying to join former Houston QB Case Keenum as the only FBS players with multiple 5,000-yard seasons. Keenum did it 2008, 2009 and 2011 when Kingsbury was on the Cougars staff.HE SAID ITIve just got a feeling that theyll be a little bit like us. Weve been stung a little bit, and feeling a little bit of a sting from these loses that weve had, and Im sure theyre not feeling good about getting beat at Iowa State. So, I just have a feeling that were going to have our hands full and theyll be ready to play and hopefully well be ready to play. -- Baylor acting head coach Jim Grobe.GIVING UP A LOT OF POINTSTexas Tech is 127th among 128 FBS teams in scoring defense allowing 44.3 points a game. The Red Raiders have given up at least that many points in eight games this season, including their last six losses. During Baylors four-game losing streak, opponents have averaged 46 points a game.SMITHS 2nd STARTBaylor true freshman Zach Smith threw for 258 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions against Kansas State last week in his first start after senior Seth Russells season-ending ankle surgery. We definitely dont want to have turnovers, Smith said. I need to do a better job of maybe just checking off to another receiver or just throwing the ball away when I need to.SHIFTED SERIESBaylor owns a 37-36-1 advantage after winning the last five games in the series. Before that, Texas Tech had won 15 in a row against the Bears.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
