NEW YORK -- Josh Cribbs is getting a chance to continue his career and give the New York Jets a boost on special teams and at wide receiver. Zinedine Zidane Jersey . The three-time Pro Bowl selection was cut by Oakland in the preseason after having off-season surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. The Jets had shown interest in Cribbs during the last several months, working him out twice before signing him Tuesday. Cribbs, 30, is tied with New Englands Leon Washington for the most kickoff-return touchdowns in NFL history with eight, and has returned three punts for scores. He spent his first eight NFL seasons with Cleveland. New York also signed wide receiver Greg Salas from Philadelphias practice squad, and placed wide receiver Clyde Gates and running back Mike Goodson on season-ending injured reserve. The Jets also signed former Stony Brook running back Miguel Maysonet to the practice squad. Cribbs could help offset the losses of both Gates and Goodson. He has 107 career receptions for 1,161 yards and seven touchdowns, and has experience running the wildcat formation -- one of Goodsons roles with the Jets -- with 753 yards rushing and two scores. The versatile Cribbs is also 4 of 12 passing in his career. The signing of Cribbs is a low-risk, high-reward move -- especially if he can regain the form that made him one of the leagues most dangerous players who could score from any spot on the field. Gates injured his left shoulder Sunday in the Jets loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but had expressed optimism Monday that he would be able to play this Sunday against New England. He hadnt yet received the result from an MRI exam, though, and it apparently revealed the injury to be more serious than first thought. Gates finished with 12 catches for 122 yards this season, and averaged 23.2 yards as the Jets primary kick returner. Goodson, a potential replacement for Gates on kickoffs, was also lost for the season Sunday when he tore the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee. He was hurt while trying to make a tackle on Lawrence Timmons game-sealing interception of Geno Smith in the fourth quarter. New Yorks offence was already without top receiver Santonio Holmes, who is nursing a hamstring injury, and tight end Kellen Winslow Jr., who was suspended four games by the NFL for violating the leagues policy on performance-enhancing drugs. With the losses of Gates and Goodson for the season, the Jets were seriously short-handed on offence. Salas was a fourth-round pick of St. Louis out of Hawaii in 2011, and had 27 catches for 264 yards as a rookie. He was traded to New England before last season, but was later claimed off waivers by Philadelphia. Salas had yet to play this season for the Eagles. Maysonet went undrafted after running for 1,964 yards and 21 touchdowns during his senior season. He was signed in April by Philadelphia, and also spent time with Cleveland, Indianapolis and San Diego this season.

Off-season additions Jermain Defoe and Michael Bradley did not train with the club today, prompting Nelsen to declare its too early to tell if either will be ready for Saturday.Freddie Freeman says he wont try to change to prove he deserves the biggest contract in Atlanta Braves history. "Im going to go out there and just keep trying to get better," he said Wednesday, a day after his $135 million, eight-year deal was finalized. "I progressively got better the last three years. Hopefully, I can stay healthy and continue to do so. Im not going to try to put extra pressure, just go out there and keep doing what Ive been doing." Freeman already has plans on how to spend some of the money. "The first thing Ive got to do is pay for a wedding," he said, looking ahead to the Nov. 22 ceremony. Freemans finance, Chelsea Goff, sat in the front during the news conference alongside the players father. She said planned to shop for a wedding gown on Thursday. Freeman gets a $2,875,000 signing bonus, of which $1,875,000 is payable on May 1 and $1 million on July 1. He receives salaries of $5,125,000 this year, $8.5 million in 2015, $12 million in 2016, $20.5 million in 2017, $21 million in each of the following two years and $22 million in each of the final two seasons. The agreement covers three arbitration-eligible seasons and five years in which he could have become a free agent. Freemans deal tops the $90 million, six-year contract for Chipper Jones that covered 2001-06 and came one year after the Braves gave outfielder B.J. Upton the biggest contract for a free agent in team history -- $75.25 million for five years. Upton struggled in his first year in Atlanta, hitting only .184 and losing his starting job. After the season, general manager Frank Wren said Upton may have felt too much pressure. Wren said Freeman can handle the long-term deal. "One of the things we were looking at was ... the right timing," Wren said. "Has the player established himself well enough that this wont affect him one way or the other? This was the perfect timing for us." Freeman, 24, has played only three full seasons. He was an All-Starr last year, when he hit . Steve Mandanda Jersey. 319 with 23 homers and 109 RBIs. He matched his career high in home runs, set highs in batting average and RBIs and finished fifth in NL MVP voting. He has topped 20 home runs in three straight seasons. "He keeps getting better," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I think before all this is said and done, its going to be a contract thats well worth it because hes going to keep getting better. His numbers are going to keep getting better. Last year he set out to drive in 100 runs. And he did it." Freeman said he was humbled to receive the long extension so early in his career. "For them to believe in me with this kind of contract is truly an honour, humbling," he said. "But to happen this young, I never thought it would be even possible." Freeman then paused before adding with a huge grin "But Im happy!" In addition to his salary, he would get a $500,000 bonus if hes NL MVP, $1 million if he wins the award a second time and $1.5 million for a third. He gets $200,000 if hes second through fifth in the voting. In addition. Freeman receives $50,000 apiece for All-Star selection and World Series MVP, and $25,000 each for Gold Glove, Silver Slugger and league championship series MVP. Outfielder Jason Heyward and the Braves agreed Tuesday to a $13.3 million, two-year contract. Heyward and Freeman had filed for salary arbitration last month. Closer Craig Kimbrel is the Braves only player left in arbitration. The Braves biggest news of the off-season was their surprising plans to open a new stadium in 2017 in suburban Cobb County. Wren said expectations for increased revenue from the new stadium played a role in Freemans deal. "We looked to how we could strategize to make that happen," Wren said. "And I think theres also the element of the new situation in Cobb County three years from now that allows us to be more competitive. And I think thats evidenced by this signing."
