ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Chris Harris Jr.s wild 2014 ride started out with a torn ACL in the playoffs and hit a high note Friday when he signed a five-year contract extension with the Denver Broncos worth $42.5 million.Its been a great year and its been a crazy year, Harris told The Associated Press. It started with me tearing my ACL, a very low point in my career. And now its just amazing how I feel right now.Despite a stellar career at Kansas, Harris wasnt one of the three dozen cornerbacks drafted in 2011, and his signing bonus with the Broncos that year was just $2,000.I remember I bought a PS4 PlayStation with that money and I saved the rest, Harris said.And thats more than he plans to spend right away with his latest signing bonus — $10 million, which is 5,000 times larger than his signing bonus was 3 1/2 years ago.Ive always done a good job of saving the money I did get and really, I got everything I need already, said Harris, whose wife recently gave birth to their firstborn daughter.Harris has made a successful comeback this season, tallying 43 tackles, 18 pass breakups, three interceptions and a sack for the Broncos (10-3), who can wrap up their fourth straight AFC West title with a win Sunday at San Diego (8-5).Its a priority for us to develop and reward our own players, GM John Elway said. Whether on the field or in the community, were proud to have Chris representing the Broncos for years to come.When camp began, Elways dual priority was signing wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas to contract extensions. But both rejected the teams initial offers and while theyve only seen their stock soar, the Broncos turned their attention to Harris, one of their defensive cornerstones.Harris said negotiations lagged over the last month until Elway got involved and helped close the deal Friday.Oh man, Im just thankful, happy, excited. Really, most of all, relieved, Harris said. Just playing this season with this hanging over my head and still playing at a high level has been pretty hard. So, now I can just focus on playing football. This really just motivates me even more just to go out and play even harder for the coaches and this organization and this city and the fans.In his three-plus years with the Broncos, Harris has picked off 10 passes, scored two touchdowns, forced a fumble and had three fumble recoveries.He quickly rose through Denvers depth chart to earn playing time as a rookie and became a starter in 2012. But after a stellar 2013 season, Harris tore his left ACL in the Broncos divisional playoff against the Chargers.After watching the Super Bowl from the sideline, he flew to Florida for Dr. James Andrews to repair his knee.While he was recuperating, he signed a one-year restricted free agent tender worth $2,187,000 this season.His emergence and versatility playing both the slot and on the outside helped the Broncos decide to bid farewell to star Champ Bailey last winter.When Bailey officially retired last month, he said Harris was a worthy successor.Hes playing better than anybody in this league right now, Bailey said at the time. I just hope they treat him like it around here.On Friday, they did just that.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Buffalo Bills Jerseys Outlet . -- Wide receiver Sidney Rice should be fully recovered from a torn knee ligament by the time the Seattle Seahawks start defence of their Super Bowl title, general manager John Schneider said Wednesday.

His big 2-minute outburst in the fourth quarter Tuesday night is all that really mattered for the Dallas Mavericks.Kansas City, KS (SportsNetwork.com) - Championship contender Kevin Harvick won his eighth pole of the season in the Sprint Cup Series, while defending series titleholder Jimmie Johnson struggled in Fridays qualifying for the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. Harvick, in his first season as driver of the No. 4 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing, grabbed the pole for Sundays 400-mile race at Kansas after posting a lap at 197.621 mph in the third and final round of knockout qualifying. He set a new track qualifying record at this 1.5-mile racetrack when he turned a lap at 197.773 mph during the second round. It was the 20th time this season that a new track qualifying record has been set in NASCARs premier series. Harvick has surpassed a previous track record six times in 2014 -- Texas, Michigan, Indianapolis, Bristol and both Kansas races. One year ago when he drove for Richard Childress Racing, Harvick won the Chase race at Kansas after starting on the pole and leading the most laps with 138. When the series most recently competed here in May, the first night race at this track, he started on the pole and led the most laps with 119 but finished second to Jeff Gordon. For whatever reason, this fits everything that I have going on with my driving style, Harvick said. But in the end, its all about having fast cars. Last year, we had a fast car, and this year, we have had a fast car as well. So just have to thank everybody on my Budweiser (sponsor) team for staying focused, continuing to build better race cars and controlling all the things that we can control. Our cars are fast, we are qualifying well, our pit stops are good, cars are reliable and everything is good. We just need a little bit of good luck to go with it. Its just like I keep telling these guys - that stuff will all come fulll circle and hopefully it does it at the right time this year.dddddddddddd Harvick has two wins in Sprint Cup this season but has not been to victory lane in the series since April 12 at Darlington (21 races ago). I just feel like with a little bit of good luck we can beat every car here, every week, at any style racetrack, he said. Everything is there. Its just a matter of having everything come together on the luck side. Well just keep plugging away. While Harvick claimed his 14th career pole in Cup, Johnson qualified 32nd, which matched his worst starting position in a race this season. Making his second lap in the first qualifying round, Johnsons car spun out in turn 2. He did not make contact with anything. Brian Vickers, who is not in the Chase, will start on the front row for the first time this season after qualifying second at 196.307 mph. Wow, that was a fun lap, Vickers said. Aric Almirola, who was eliminated from the Chase last weekend at Dover, qualified third, matching his best starting spot of the season. Joey Logano grabbed the fourth position, followed by Jeff Gordon, who leads all drivers with three victories at Kansas. Im happy with where we ended up, Gordon said. A top-five, you have to be happy with that starting position. Qualifying sixth through 12th were: Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards. Logano, Gordon, Keselowski, Busch, Earnhardt, Kahne and Edwards remain in the Chase. Kansas is the first of three races in round 2 of the playoffs, known as the Contender Round. The other Chase drivers and their starting positions are: Ryan Newman (17th), Denny Hamlin (25th) and Matt Kenseth (27th). All 43 drivers who attempted qualifying made the starting field for Sundays race.
