NEW ORLEANS -- Champ Bailey will get to chase a Pro Bowl record and another Super Bowl appearance with the New Orleans Saints. The veteran cornerback agreed to a two-year contract with the Saints on Friday, with a maximum value that approaches $7 million, including guaranteed money and a signing bonus in the first year. The 35-year-old Bailey played the last 10 seasons with Denver after spending his first five in the NFL with Washington. A shutdown cornerback for much of his career, Bailey has made three All-Pro teams and been selected to 12 Pro Bowls. He trails only Hall of Fame end Reggie White (13) among defensive players in NFL history in Pro Bowls. Baileys 52 interceptions are the most among active players, as are his 204 passes defenced. He made the leagues All-Decade team for 2000-09. "We are excited to be able to add a future Hall of Fame player with the addition of Champ Bailey," Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said. "His career accomplishments mirror that of his high character, and hes a very prideful and competitive player who we believe will add to our defence." Bailey missed 11 games because of a left foot sprain originally suffered in the 2013 preseason, which wound up being a Lisfranc injury, one of the most painful for an athlete. He returned late in the season to help the Broncos advance to the Super Bowl, where they were routed by Seattle. His coverage skills clearly are not what they were in his prime, but he will add leadership and savvy to the Saints secondary that is undergoing a transformation following the release of strong safety Roman Harper and the loss of free safety Malcolm Jenkins, who signed with Philadelphia as a free agent. "I have a little more to my game, I believe, especially mentally," Bailey said on the Saints official website. "I can see things a lot easier, a lot of things come up that Ive had experience with. That only helps your game. Im using that to my advantage as much as possible because I know how much youve got to be mentally ready for this, as well as physically ready. "I just like the situation Im going into because I know these guys are going to be hungry." New Orleans also may lose safety Rafael Bush, an unrestricted free agent who on Thursday signed an offer sheet from the Atlanta Falcons. New Orleans has until April 8 to match that offer and keep Bush, but the Saints have been operating with minimal salary cap space, which will only be squeezed further by bringing in Bailey. A versatile player who saw action on offence, defence and special teams at Georgia, Bailey was drafted with the seventh overall pick in 1999 by Washington. He was dealt to Denver in 2004 for running back Clinton Portis. Air Max Lunar 90.

In a statement Thursday from Hambric Sports Management, the 30-year-old Johnson said his leave of absence was effective immediately.

The Scotsman was dismissed only five days after being told by the club he would remain in charge for the "foreseeable future.TORONTO -- After letting two games slip away in overtime, Jose Calderon and the Toronto Raptors closed one out Sunday. Calderon had 22 points and nine assists to lead Toronto to a 108-103 home win over the Los Angeles Lakers. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak for the Raptors, the last two defeats coming in overtime against Chicago and Philadelphia, respectively. "It was good," Calderon said. "We led a couple of games with big leads and it was just us. "Its just some mental mistakes and things we do, but we have to keep competing. We can compete against everybody in this league, but we have to do it for 48 (minutes) and try to minimize those mental mistakes we have sometimes." Calderon was 9-of-15 from the field and 1-of-4 from three-point range, often with Lakers star Kobe Bryant in his face. "He (Bryant) is a great all-around player, he can play really good defence," Calderon said. "But I was trying to put him in as many screen and rolls as possible. "I was trying to look for my shot but also my teammates as well." Toronto improved to 11-9 at home before an Air Canada Centre sellout of 19,800, the clubs fourth this season. That wasnt surprising given it was Victorias Steve Nash leading the Lakers but the Raptors spoiled the former NBA MVPs first visit to Ontario with his new team. Toronto courted Nash in the off-season before he ultimately went to Los Angeles in a sign-and-trade deal that netted the Phoenix Suns four draft picks -- first rounders in 2013 and 2015 and second rounders in 2013 and 2014. Nash finished the game with 16 points and nine assists. "I thought our effort was very spotty, a little bit lazy, cutting corners," Nash said. "I know we flew across the country (Saturday) and played an early -- 10 a.m. by West Coast game -- so for me thats not an excuse, thats a sign. "Youve got to come ready to play early and I didnt feel like we were ready to play. We just, I thought, cut too many corners at too many different times of the game. It was too big a hole to climb out of." Landry Fields and Eddie Davis both added 18 points for Toronto (15-26) with Fields adding 10 rebounds and Davis registering eight. The Raptors earned their first win in five games against Los Angeles (17-23), which has lost its last five road games and eight-of-10 overall. Los Angeles is a dismal 5-13 on the road but leads the overall series with Toronto 25-7. "I thought that was one of the most complete games weve had all year from top to bottom," Raptors head coach Dwane Casey said. "It was a good team effort and we executed down the stretch, which we didnt do the other night. "Its the little things, ball movement, man movement, transition defence and then when the shot goes up box out." Casey also heaped lavish praise upon Calderon. "I thought he was huge," Casey said. "They tried to trap him but he found the right player, he made the right read and was just effective all night." Bryant had a game-high 26 points for the Lakers, who lost all-star centre Dwighht Howard late in the first half following his second technical foul.dddddddddddd Pau Gasol added 25 points. After being flagged for a technical in the first, Howard received his second with 1:18 remaining in the half along with Toronto Alan Anderson after both got tangled up following a free-throw attempt. Howard left with five points through 17 minutes and didnt speak with reporters after the game. "Its too bad," said Lakers head coach Mike DAntoni. "Obviously we didnt need to lose him at that point." Bryant, predictably, disagreed with the second technical on Howard. "There is nothing he (Howard) can do when a guy steps on him and puts a forearm in his chest," Bryant said. "You say one thing and now its a double technical and (I) just dont agree with that." Fields often drew the unenviable task of defending Bryant but made the Lakers star work for his points. Bryant finished 10-of-32 from the field and hit three of 12 three-pointers. "Hes going to get his points," Landry said. "Theres no way of stopping him, you just kind of have to make it as hard as possible. "Really, thats what my mindset was . . . react to his first move because he gives you a bunch of them and just remain as solid as possible and contest his shot as best as possible." Toronto shot 54.8 per cent from the field (46 of 84) and hit on 6-of-20 three-pointers. The Raptors also held a 40-37 edge in rebounding over Los Angeles, which connected on 38-of-88 shots (43.2 per cent), including 9-of-27 (33.3 per cent) from the arc. "We have a lot of issues," DAntoni said. "Offensively, the ball sticks and we dont take very good shots. "It doesnt have anything to do with the other teams, it has got a lot do to with us." Nash opened the scoring with a layup but Los Angeles started slowly, making just three of its first 15 shots to trail 19-4 before rallying to cut Torontos lead to 29-20 to end the first. Calderons jumper with 4.3 seconds left staked Toronto to a 53-49 half-time lead but the biggest play of the half came when Howard was forced to leave the game. Toronto took an 83-70 lead into the fourth, thanks to Fields basket with 14.5 seconds remaining in the third. Fields and Gasol both had 10 points in the quarter for their respective teams. Consecutive three-pointers from Kyle Lowry helped stake Toronto to a 95-79 advantage early in the fourth before a Nash three-pointer and two from Bryant helped pull the Lakers to within 97-87 with 5:22 remaining. Nashs two free throws pulled Los Angeles to within 107-101 with 17.8 seconds remaining but there was no miracle comeback for the visitors. NOTES -- Defenceman P.K. Subban, a restricted free agent with the Montreal Canadiens, took in Sundays contest. His hockey club dropped a 2-1 decision to Toronto at the Bell Centre on Saturday night in the season opener for both clubs. Subban, 23, is a Toronto native . . . .
