Eric Berry, thirty-one years old, selected by the Kansas City Chiefs as the fifth overall pick in the first round of the 2010 draft, gradually grew into the captain of the defensive group at Arrowhead Stadium.
However, after nearly two years of prolonged injury struggles, although Berry finally returned to the field this season, he could never regain his peak form.

In other words, terminate the agreement.
