The Kansas City Chiefs and guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif have agreed to a contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.

Duvernay-Tardif’s five-year, $41.25 million extension includes $20 million in guaranteed money, a league source told ESPN’s Adam Caplan.

Chad Speck, Duvernay-Tardif’s agent, posted on Instagram about the signing Tuesday.

“Laurent has grown significantly in his three years as a professional,” Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said in a statement. “He brings a lot of mental and physical toughness to the position, and last season he was able to become a key contributor to our offense. Laurent has a bright future here.”

Duvernay-Tardif, 26, was a sixth-round draft pick of the Chiefs in 2014 out of McGill University in Montreal. He broke into the starting lineup in 2015 and is now a fixture at right guard.

He is in medical school at McGill and tends to his studies during the offseason. Since being drafted by the Chiefs, he has returned to Kansas City each year to participate in most of the team’s offseason workouts and all of the offseason practices.

  The Chiefs have done an about-face recently in dealing with offensive linemen, locking them up to long-term deals rather than see them leave.

Duvernay-Tardif was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2017 season.

NFL Network first reported that Duvernay-Tardif was close to an extension with the Chiefs.

The Chiefs also are making a strong push to wrap up a deal with veteran safety Eric Berry by Wednesday’s franchise tag deadline in a bid to keep him in Kansas City, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

INDIANAPOLIS — Colts defensive lineman David Parry used a number of expletives and derogatory words toward Scottsdale, Arizona, police officers who arrested him over the weekend, according to the police report obtained by ESPN.

Parry, 24, was arrested early Saturday morning on charges of auto theft, robbery, resisting arrest, driving under the influence and criminal damage.

He allegedly hit the driver of a golf cart transporting him and two other men from a Scottsdale bar in the head and sped off in the cart. The police found Parry on the sidewalk near where he crashed the cart into the gate of an apartment complex.

Parry, whose eyes were watery and bloodshot and whose speech was slurred, laughed and thought being arrested for robbery and auto theft was comical, according to the police report. Parry antagonized the officers, using gay slurs and calling them “fat f—s,” according to officers.

Parry had a brace on his left wrist from surgery earlier in the offseason that made it difficult for the officers to handcuff him. The police had to remove the brace from Parry’s wrist to put the handcuffs on because he kept “locking his muscles and turning his body in attempts to break free from” police, according to the report.

Parry was not given a breath test because of his lack of stability and because he was “dry heaving,” as if he was going to vomit, when the officers were drawing blood from his arm, according to the police report.

Asked how much he had to drink, Parry told the officers “a lot” and “more than I should have been,” according to the report.

New Colts general manager Chris Ballard will likely address the incident when he talks to the media during the scouting combine Wednesday.

Parry, who was selected in the fifth round in 2015, has started all 32 games of his NFL career and has 78 tackles and four sacks.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings will not pick up their option on Adrian Peterson’s contract for the 2017 season, the team announced Tuesday.

Peterson will become an unrestricted free agent on March 9.

Peterson, who restructured his deal with the team before the 2015 season, had an option for 2017 that would have paid him $18 million, including a $6 million roster bonus had he been on the roster on the third day of the new league year. The Vikings had until the start of the league year on March 9 to inform Peterson whether they would exercise the option.

“It’s been a great 10 years with the Minnesota Vikings,” Peterson said in a statement to ESPN’s Josina Anderson. “They know what I bring to the organization as a player, with my work ethic and dedication. I spoke with [Vikings GM] Rick Spielman this past weekend. The door is still open to find some common ground. I understand addressing the offensive line is one of their main priorities this offseason.

“In the meantime, I will explore my other options and see what path God leads me on. My main goal remains the same: to win a Super Bowl championship with a great team, which I also believe we have in Minnesota.”

It seemed inevitable the Vikings would not exercise the option on Peterson, who played just three games last season because of a torn meniscus and turns 32 on March 21. The team could still work out a restructured contract with Peterson before the start of the league year or try to re-sign him if he doesn’t find what he’s looking for on the free-agent market.

“Adrian is an important part of the Minnesota Vikings organization,” Spielman said in a statement. “We will continue to have conversations with his representatives and leave our future options open while determining what is best for both parties moving forward.”

Peterson carried 37 times for 72 yards last season, returning in less than three months from his injury on Sept. 18 to play against the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 18. However, he sat out the Vikings’ final two games because of an adductor strain he suffered in his first game back.

Although it appears seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney wants to be back in Atlanta next season, his possible return shouldn’t keep the Falcons from pursuing pass-rush help through the draft or via free agency.

The 37-year-old Freeney told ESPN’s Jim Trotter on Monday that he “most likely” will return for a 16th NFL season. Freeney went on to say he’d probably come back if the Falcons wanted him.

Freeney’s veteran savvy and leadership certainly are assets to the defense. At the same time, he would be the first to say his legs aren’t what they used to be, as expected of a veteran with 209 regular-season games and 5,056 defensive snaps under his belt. So the Falcons would be wise to find a younger edge rusher to pair with reigning NFL sacks leader Vic Beasley Jr. for years to come.

Plenty of early mock drafts have the Falcons targeting such pass-rush help. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. has the Falcons taking Missouri pass-rusher Charles Harris with the 31st overall pick in his latest mock draft. A month ago, Kiper had the Falcons selecting another pass-rusher, Tennessee’s Derek Barnett, at that spot. And Pro Football Focus’ latest mock draft had the Falcons selecting UCLA pass-rusher Takkarist McKinley in the first round.

Beasley, coming off a 15.5-sack, six-forced-fumble season, will be the guy the Falcons rely on to lead the pass rush in 2017 and beyond. Defensive end Adrian Clayborn, who was second on the team behind Beasley with 4.5 sacks in ’16, is recovering from a torn biceps suffered this past postseason. Clayborn’s relentless style gives the Falcons something to look forward to, but his bad luck with injuries is yet another reason why coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff have to find more pass-rush help.
