Jim Wogan of WATE in Knoxville, TN spoke with Chad Speck, agent for Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry, and he reports that Speck says the two sides are "close" to a deal as of late last night.
It's an unusual source for our Chiefs news but it makes sense because it all traces back to Knoxville, TN.
Berry went to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Wogan's station, WATE, is in Knoxville. Speck, Berry's agent, is based out of Knoxville and represents another former Volunteer, Albert Haynesworth.
So it appears the Chiefs may have a shot at getting Berry into camp on time.
