OWINGS MILLS, Md. - The Baltimore Ravens intend to cut ties with defensive tackle Terrence Cody, whos under investigation for animal cruelty.The Ravens made no reference to the investigation Friday, when it issued a one-sentence news release that said Codys contract will be terminated after the Super Bowl.A team spokesman, however, said, We are aware there is an investigation.The 26-year-old Cody is the subject of an ongoing probe launched by the Baltimore County States Attorneys office. No charges have been filed.According to Codys agent, Peter Schaffer, Cody took his dog to a veterinarian for treatment and the pet subsequently died.If the dog was being treated cruelly, why take it to a vet? Schaffer said in a telephone interview. When the dog passed away, Terrence was in tears.Schaffer called the investigation shameful.Its not even a story. Its a joke, Schaffer said. If he wasnt a professional athlete, this would never have happened.Schaffer said Cody paid around $8,000 for the purchase and transportation of the dog.Cody was selected out of Alabama by the Ravens in the second round of the 2010 draft. Although he started all 16 games in 2011, the 6-foot-4, 340-pound Cody never quite lived up to expectations.He started only three games during Baltimores Super Bowl season in 2012 and started only once in 2013.Cody missed the first 12 games of the 2014 season following hip surgery. He was activated on Nov. 4 but played in only one game, seeing limited action in Miami on Dec. 7.His one-year, $730,000 contract was set to expire in March. Cody will then become an unrestricted free agent.Schaffer said the timing of his dismissal from Baltimore stems from the current climate in the NFL, which includes the suspension of Ravens running back Ray Rice.The Ravens have to deal with a situation in the NFL created by overreaction, Schaffer said. The young mans dog died. They shouldnt force a team to do this.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/ap_nfl Jarvis Landry Browns Jersey .

Antonio Callaway Browns Jersey . -- Conner Bleackley got it done in regulation time and in the shootout. Carlos Hyde Browns Jersey . Orlandos Glen Davis tried to get in the way, only to be driven back into the padding under the basket as the Pelicans forward slammed home a windmill jam.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-SStar last year, when he hit .dddddddddddd19 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."
