Chiefs' Eric Berry: Could skip entire preseason

Berry (contract) is expected to miss most or all of the preseason, ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Berry can skip training camp and the preseason without incurring fines, as he's yet to sign his $10.8 million franchise tender. The deadline for a long-term extension already passed, but he may be hoping to negotiate a higher salary, or might be unhappy with how previous negotiations were handled. It's also possible he just hopes to avoid an injury, in which case he'd likely rejoin the team by mid-to-late August. Regardless of how this plays out, Berry is unlikely to continue his holdout into the regular season.
