ATLANTA -- Closer Jim Johnson and the Atlanta Braves have agreed to a two-year contract through the 2018 season.The 33-year-old right-hander had been eligible for free agency. The deal was announced Sunday, the final day of the Braves season.Johnson provides a stabilizing influence on the young bullpen, and the team was eager to keep him around as it prepares to move to a new stadium in 2017. Johnson is 2-6 with a 3.11 ERA with 19 saves in 22 chances.General manager John Coppolella said negotiations with Johnson were pushed along by the Braves strong finish. The GM says it was important to have a veteran reliever on a team that expects to be a playoff contender the next couple of years.Johnson says hes excited about the next chapter for the organization after what he describes as a development year. Virgil van Dijk Jersey . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Jordan Henderson Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. http://www.footballliverpoolstore.com/Women-Sadio-Mane-Liverpool-Jersey/ . Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. Nathaniel Clyne Jersey . Both players have lower body injuries that will keep them out of the lineup until at least January 31, which is the first game they can be activated from IR. Naby Keita Liverpool Jersey .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win. CLEVELAND -- Hue Jackson has run out of pep talks. At this point, theres only so much he can do to stop this dismal season from an even deeper descent.The Browns record is one thing.Jackson cant lose his locker room, too.As his team recovered from a 24-9 pasting from Pittsburgh, a loss that dropped Cleveland to 0-11 in 2016 and below .500 overall for the first time in 66 years, the Browns coach said its vital over the next five games for his frustrated players to keep fighting -- together.I understand how people feel about us right now, Jackson said Monday.This team is going to continue to work hard. We are going to continue to stick together because we know that is the only way success will come. We have to continue to have each others backs.The Browns are hoping to avoid dubious history. Three NFL teams previously went 0-11 before winning a game -- the 1975 Chargers, 1984 Bills, 2000 Chargers -- while seven had even worse starts.It cant get much worse for the Browns than Sunday, when the Steelers overpowered them, recording eight sacks, taking rookie quarterback Cody Kessler out with a concussion -- his second head injury in 28 days -- and dominating both lines from the outset.Kessler will miss Sundays game against the surging New York Giants (7-3) and its possible the third-round pick is done for the season.Josh McCown, who was sacked four times and absorbed a few more crushing hits when he came in for Kessler in the fourth quarter, will make his third start this season.The 37-year-old McCown has endured difficult seasons before, but those havent softened the impact this one is having.It is a tough, tough time for us, he said. Especially for guys who have been in the league for a little while and in our locker room, it is frustrating.But at the end of the day, we are going to continue to reload, come back to work and fight hard to make it right and get it going. We owe it to the rest of the guys in the locker room, the coaches, the people in the organization and the city to get this thing turned around.Some of the frustration is beginning to boil over.Following Clevelands 21st loss in 22 games, Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, one of the lone bright spots in an otherwise depressing season, vented his feeling by calling out some offensive teammates for not doing a better job of proteecting the Browns quarterbacks.ddddddddddddryor didnt name names, but there was no hiding his anger. And unlike Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas, he didnt lay blame on Clevelands front office for gutting the clubs roster during the offseason to build for the future.Pryor spoke from his heart, which seems fractured.They cant keep getting hit like that, and if I want to voice my opinion, Im going to voice my opinion now, because its going on too much, he said. I dont care if youve got to hold these dudes. Hold them and take the damn penalty and stop getting our quarterbacks hit. I hate that.While Jackson appreciated Pryors passion, he didnt like his message.That is not Terrelles job, Jackson said. I know he is frustrated and we all are. No doubt, we need to protect our quarterback, but that is not for him to say.Lets focus on ourselves and support each other. That is what good teams do, and that is what we are going to work to become.Jackson spoke with Pryor, who caught five passes for 97 yards, another performance that will only help his bargaining power in getting a contract extension from the Browns.Sometimes, like most people, after the game and after the heat of the moment, you are a little frustrated and maybe you say some things that you wish you hadnt, Jackson said.I understand it is coming from a good place. I know that no one wants to see our quarterback getting hit, but I think everybody has to let me be the judge of that.As for Jackson, it appears he hasnt lost the confidence of his players, who remain supportive despite a season testing everyones patience and stomachs.We stand 100 percent behind him, linebacker Christian Kirksey said.Jackson is weathering the storm the only way he knows -- head on. He wasnt prepared to lose on this scale, but hes determined to not let the losing slow him down.I know what I signed up for, he said. I truly believe I am just the man for the job. That has not shown, and I respect that and I understand how our fans and all feel, but I am not running from this. I am going to run through it. We are going to fix this. That is what I came here to do.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL . ' ' '
