Jets’ Edwards signs tender

Wide receiver Braylon Edwards with jets jersey signed his tendor and reported for the first day of voluntary offseason workouts Monday.

His tendor worth $6.2 million-which would have required another team to give up first and third round draft picks to New York. Running back Leon Washington(notes) chose to not attend the workout, and is one of New York’s four restricted free agents who haven’t signed their tenders. Washington, a fourth-round pick in 2006, received a second-round tender. Agent Alvin Keels said on Twitter that Washington, a Pro Bowl kick returner in 2008 who’s recovering from a broken right leg suffered last season, will weigh his options while rehabilitating.

Wide receiver Brad Smith (second round) and safety James Ihedigbo(right of first refusal) signed their tenders.

X-rays and a CT scan Evans had Saturday came out negative. He will be re-evaluated on Monday before the Kings host Memphis.

Cardinals sign Joey Porter

Four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Joey Porter will wear ardinals jersey. Cardinals signed the man for a three-year contract on Friday.

Porter, entering his 12th season, spent the past three with the Miami Dolphins, who released him in March. He played the first eight years of his career with the Steelers. I was looking to play for a West Coast team and I know everything Whiz is about,” Porter said at the time. “He had me over there in Pittsburgh for eight years so I don’t have to be blindsided by some new coaches and trying to wonder how I fit. I know exactly how I fit. I know how he would try and use me if I was here and I am just trying to be a piece to the puzzle that’s already there.”

He could no longer play at the elite level he had been in Pittsburgh.

Bosh hits winner for Raptors

Chris Bosh with raptors jersey put a poor shooting performance behind him in a big way for the team.

Bosh hit a 16-foot jumper with 2.1 seconds left and the Raptors ended a five-game losing streak with a 106-105 victory over Atlanta on Wednesday night.“I shot it with confidence, and there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that it (was) going in,” said Bosh. “I’m just glad it gave us the go-ahead to win the game.”Bosh was 6 of 19 from the field and finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds. “It’s not tough at all, because you want to make the next one,” Bosh said. “I think every shot after is the one to kind of erase the memory, get the bad taste out of your mouth.”

Bosh said to be the first to do something is always cool.

Players better start saving

Some players with nba jerseys could become free agents in the summer of 2012.

But that assumes the NBA will actually get to the summer of ’12 in one piece. “You have to convince these guys that it’d be best if players went into next year with as little debt as possible,” the agent said.“I have to follow it,” Williams told SN. “I wish I didn’t, I wish it were not an issue. But there is going to be a lockout, so of course it worries me. We know it is probably coming, so we had better be prepared for it.”

You have to convince these guys that it'd be best if players went into next year with as little debt as possible.

Wright returns to Heat after arrest

Dorell Wright with heat jersey was back to practice on Monday. He had been arrested on a driving under the influence charge and being suspended by the team for two games.

Wright did not speak specifically of the circumstances surrounding him being charged on Miami Beach around 3:30 a.m. last Thursday with DUI and driving with a suspended license, citing pending legal matters. He did, however, say “the thing that disgusts me the most” was feeling that he let the franchise and its fans down, especially during a playoff chase.

“It was way out of character for me,” Wright said, his eyes reddening. “I definitely apologize.”
