Eric Berry on contract: Thought it would progress more from NFL.com

If Berry and the Chiefs aren't able to get a deal done, don't be surprised if a holdout ensues. The safety is due for a big payday. Berry has been to three more Pro Bowls (four) and has the same number of All-Pro selections (two) than the league's highest-paid safety in Harrison Smith. Smith signed a five-year, $51.25 million extension with the Minnesota Vikings in June.

To the delight of his teammates, Lesnar took personal offense when one of the Chiefs took a cheap shot at Culpepper, the Vikings' standout quarterback. In a true pro wrestling storyline, Lesnar had revenge in mind.

More than a decade later, former Minnesota's receiver Nate Burleson gleefully recalled what happened:

Rodriguez holds annual camp, hoping to get NFL call from The Hudson Reporter

"The kids had a great time learning from all the pros and especially from ‘The Foot Doctor,'" Rodriguez said. "I was definitely impressed with the turnout. It was a bigger turnout than what I expected. I have to thank Mayor [Nicholas] Sacco for letting us use the field and have people there to help us."

Some of the pro players that were in attendance were Mohamed Sanu of the Atlanta Falcons, the former Rutgers standout receiver, Rod Streater of the Kansas City Chiefs, Nick Williams of the Atlanta Falcons and Kashif Moore of the Kansas City Chiefs.
