NEW YORK -- The New York Jets have agreed to terms with former Denver Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker, considered by many the top free agent at his
position.

Bourque Jersey . Decker spent all day Wednesday at the Jets facility and
had dinner with a contingent of team officials, including coach Rex Ryan. He
gives quarterback Geno Smith and the offence a sorely needed playmaker and No.
1-type wide receiver. According to ESPNs Adam Schefter, its a five-year, $36.25
million deal with $16 million guaranteed. The Jets on Monday cut talented but
oft-injured wide receiver Santonio Holmes after four seasons. The move saved the
Jets $8.25 million, and Holmes was also scheduled to have a $10.75 million cap
number, a lofty total for a one-time Super Bowl MVP who has struggled with
inconsistency the last two seasons. He turned 30 last week. The Jets get a
rising star in Decker, who last season combined with Demaryius Thomas as the
most prolific receiving tandem (2,718 yards) in the league, meshing with
Peyton Manning all year. The 6-foot-3, 214-pound Decker, wholl be 27 on
Saturday, set career highs with 87 catches and 1,288 yards receiving to go along
with 11 touchdowns. He had 85 receptions for 1,064 yards and a career-best 13
TDs in 2012. Getting a top receiver was a priority as the Jets headed into free
agency, especially after parting with Holmes. Decker emerged late last season,
with a four-touchdown breakout at Kansas City on Dec. 1. Until then, the only
starring role Decker enjoyed with the Broncos had come in his reality TV show
about his wedding to country and pop singer Jessie James. He was in the final
year of the contract he signed as a rookie four years ago with no extension in
hand. He ended December with eight touchdowns for the Broncos, a triumph of
sorts for a player who had contended with a balky shoulder and endless
comparisons to teammates Thomas, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas. The slump-busting
performance against the Chiefs did wonders for him as the Broncos advanced to
the Super Bowl. Also Wednesday, the Jets agreed to terms with former Seattle
Seahawks right tackle Breno Giacomini, quickly finding a replacement for
Austin Howard. The Jets re-signed backup defensive lineman Leger Douzable to a
one-year deal, too. Giacomini missed seven games with a knee injury last season
for Seattle, but was back in time for the Seahawks run to their Super Bowl title
against Denver. The 6-foot-7, 318-pound Giacomini will replace Howard, who
signed with Oakland as a free agent after starting every game the last two
seasons. Giacomini was a fifth-round pick in 2008 of Green Bay, where he spent
three seasons before spending the last three with Seattle. Douzable signed with
New York as a free agent last off-season and had 20 tackles and a career-high 1
1/2 sacks. The Jets earlier released cornerback Antonio Cromartie, clearing
$17.75 million of salary cap space. New York could also save another $8.3
million if they cut quarterback Mark Sanchez, who missed last season with a
shoulder injury.

Canada.PRETORIA, South Africa - More than a year after he killed his girlfriend,
Oscar Pistorius is expected to finally answer questions about why he shot Reeva
Steenkamp through a toilet door when his murder trial resumes this week and his
defence lawyers begin presenting the evidence they hope will save the Olympic
athlete from going to prison for 25 years to life. Pistorius account that he
killed Steenkamp by mistake is going to "stand or fall" with his testimony in
court, a legal expert says. Charged with premeditated murder for Steenkamps
death, Pistorius and his defence team say he will testify to counter accusations
that he intentionally killed Steenkamp by firing four times through the door in
his bathroom before dawn on Valentines Day last year, hitting her in the head,
arm and hip. Pistorius says he mistook Steenkamp for a dangerous intruder hiding
in a toilet cubicle. South Africa has no trial by jury, meaning Judge Thokozile
Masipa will pronounce Pistorius guilty or not guilty of murder, and Pistorius
has the chance to convince her that he did not intentionally kill the
29-year-old model. But Pistorius testimony also gives prosecutors the chance to
cross-examine the celebrated double-amputee runner and scrutinize every aspect
of his story. Facing a possible life sentence, his questioning by chief
prosecutor Gerrie Nel could be the biggest challenge yet for the 27-year-old
Pistorius, a disabled athlete who fought for years to win the right to compete
alongside able-bodied runners and made history by running at the 2012 Olympics.
Brian Webber, one of Pistorius lawyers, said they had no choice but to put
Pistorius on the stand. Legal experts say its a risk Pistorius defence has to
take. In a rare comment after the prosecution closed its case, Pistorius said
"we have a lot ahead of us." Pistorius often reacted emotionally to details of
Steenkamps death in the four weeks of prosecution-led testimony at his trial. He
retched loudly and vomited in court when a pathologist described Steenkamps
grisly injuries and cried and frequently covered his ears while sittiing in the
dock in an apparent attempt to block out graphic testimony.
Jay
Bouwmeester Canada Jersey. During his own testimony, he will have to
describe in depth his fatal shooting of Steenkamp. "He cant ignore it," Marius
du Toit, a criminal defence lawyer and former state prosecutor in South Africa
who is observing the trial, said of Pistorius testifying. "He has to get into
the box and confirm his version and be open to cross-examination. And this
matter is going to stand or fall with that." Defendants in South Africa have the
right to remain silent but because he has admitted killing Steenkamp, Pistorius
is under pressure to tell the court why he decided to shoot through the door
with his 9 mm pistol without knowing — in his version — who was on the other
side. Prosecutors charge that Pistorius murdered Steenkamp after a fight and he
must dispel their accusations that he intentionally shot her as she hid behind
the locked door, legal experts say. Pistorius likely wont be the first witness
the defence calls on Monday, but he should take the stand straight after
pathologist Prof. Jan Botha gives evidence. Pistorius has not yet spoken
publicly about the shooting, only giving his side in a written statement at his
bail hearing a year ago and in court documents presented at the start of the
trial last month. In those statements, Pistorius claims to have been in a loving
relationship with Steenkamp but, in fear for his life, he shot at what he
thought was an intruder after hearing a window being opened in his bathroom and
then a noise inside the cubicle. Even if he is acquitted of murder, Pistorius
faces a negligent killing conviction which can carry a five-year prison
sentence. His testimony must show that he acted reasonably when he shot four
times from close range. "A reasonable man most probably would not have fired
four shots through the door," lawyer and observer du Toit said. "His actions
were definitely not reasonable and I think thats his biggest problem." ___
