WINNIPEG -- Grant Clitsomes name is off the list but plenty remain as the Winnipeg Jets work their way through a long list of restricted and unrestricted free agents. Clitsome has signed a three-year extension with the Jets for a reported US$6.2 million, almost double what he was making, keeping him off the free-agent market. Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said Wednesday they liked what they saw from the 28-year-old defencemen during the lockout-shortened season, particularly at the end when they were coping with injuries. "The last 33 games of the season last year he had 14 points, he was plus 14, he was averaging 21 minutes a night," said Cheveldayoff. "His game seemed to step up." He finished the season with a plus-10 rating after 44 games, the best of any Jets defenceman. Not bad for a player picked up on waivers from the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2012. At just 28, hes also younger than many of the other defencemen on the pending free agent market and Cheveldayoff says he still sees potential for growth. For his part, Clitsome said he wanted to stick with the Jets. "They took a chance on me when they picked me up on waivers and gave me an opportunity to show I can play in the league," said the native of Gloucester, Ont. "I like the coaching staff and the management and Ive been treated first class the whole way. The whole time it was definitely a priority for me to sign in Winnipeg." The Jets have also said theyre interested in keeping unrestricted free agent Al Montoya as backup netminder to Ondrej Pavelec. He played in only seven games last season and started just five, but finished with a record of 3-1-0. Cheveldayoff said Wednesday he had been talking with Montoyas agent "as recently as last night." The Jets are ready to let some of the unrestricted list test the market but theyve already made qualifying offers to their list of 13 restricted free agents. That list includes two-thirds of their top line, centre Bryan Little and right-winger Blake Wheeler, as well as key defenceman Zach Bogosian. Cheveldayoff says some of the high-profile deals will likely take longer to conclude. But its like a big jigsaw puzzle as he works through which players to keep and which new players he might be able to add. "There are a lot of moving parts here," said Cheveldayoff. "Youre kind of looking at all of your options. Looking at what might be available in front of you." That includes free agents coming on the market this week as well as possible trades, he said. The Jets are looking for a right-winger to pair with Evander Kane on their second line and also could do with another top-six centre. They may have more room for deals under the salary cap, which comes down $6 million this season, than some other teams. But how much they have to pay to retain their restricted free agents will ultimately determine that number. There are players already in the Jets system who might fill some of their needs but whether they are ready yet also remains a question mark. They have centre Mark Scheifele finally coming up from junior this season and he has matured significantly since he first tried to crack the lineup in 2011-12. But after two disappointing finishes in their new home, the Jets are looking to finally make the playoffs and must do it in a new conference as they move west under realignment. Other deals may be in the works as free-agent talks get under way in earnest, and Cheveldayoff at least appears a little more engaged than he might have in past years. "The interview period has started and we are active in that regard," he said. "There have been conversations that weve had and will continue to have for the different positions that might be available."

Jamie Vardy Football Shirt . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. Dak Prescott is looking more and more capable of becoming the first rookie starting quarterback to take his team to a Super Bowl.Whatever whispers there were as recently as a month ago that Prescott would be replaced in the Dallas Cowboys lineup when Tony Romo returned from a back injury, forget about it. Romo is healthy now -- and he is most definitely the backup.Prescott, only a fourth-round draft pick, just keeps producing, pairing with another rookie, running back Ezekiel Elliott, to lead Dallas to a 9-1 record on the strength of the first nine-game winning streak within a single season of the storied franchises history.Prescotts latest impressive performance came in a 27-17 victory Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, a team that entered the day with the NFLs No. 1 defense. All Prescott did was shake off punts on Dallas opening four possessions to wind up 27 of 36 for 301 yards and a trio of TD passes.With the outcome in the balance, Prescott completed 14 of 15 throws in the second half, leading Dallas on drives of 92 and 88 yards, capping each with a scoring toss to Dez Bryant.Clearly, the kid can play. Hes also seen as a leader.Were going to follow that guy. Were going to continue to keep following that guy, Bryant said. The way that he adjusts and the way he handles his business, it says a lot about him.Prescott and first-round pick Elliott -- if anyone else receives serious consideration for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, it would be an upset -- have been consistent as can be this season. So even if its surprising to hear Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insist hell continue to stay away from Super Bowl chatter, its OK for everyone else to consider it a real possibility for his team.In case you missed it, here are other top topics after the NFL seasons 11th Sunday:TEARING IT UPRedskins WR Pierre Garcon made quite a sideline statement as Washington beat defensively challenged Green Bay 42-24 on Sunday night to set up a Thanksgiving Day showdown against division rival Dallas: He ripped a yellow foam Cheesehead in half.DIRTY DOZENGive the NFL credit for getting this one right: Hoping to add some intriguue before last season to the ever-boring extra point, the league made it the equivalent of a 35-yard kick instead of 18.dddddddddddd On Sunday, a record 12 PATs went awry -- including two each by Mike Nugent of the Bengals and Robbie Gould of the Giants. Consider this: In 2014, at the old distance, eight extra points were missed all season. Two significant takeaways: No more assuming that a TD is worth seven points, and 2-point conversions are going to increase in popularity.NOT HAPPYCardinals coach Bruce Arians did not want to discuss the officiating after his teams 30-24 loss to the Vikings, but his son wasnt shy about expressing his thoughts on one particular key play, firing off a tweet with an obscenity directed at the NFL and its game officials. Jake Arians -- who kicked for the Buffalo Bills in 2001 -- was angry about what happened right before Minnesotas Xavier Rhodes took back one of his two interceptions 100 yards for a TD: The Cardinals thought receiver John Brown was held by Vikings defensive back Captain Munnerlyn before the pick. Im sure well turn that into the league, Arizona QB Carson Palmer said, and Im sure theyll come back and say it was holding.CATCHING, TOOSeattle QB Russell Wilson is known for his running ability and passing, of course, but he revealed another talent in a 26-15 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles: He can catch, too. Finally looking healthy the past two weeks after struggling with leg injuries for the seasons first two months, Wilson scored with an over-the-shoulder, 15-yard TD grab on a throw from wideout Doug Baldwin.ELIMINATEDWhat some might have figured was a foregone conclusion since, oh, Week 1 or so is now official: The Cleveland Browns were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention by falling to 0-11 with a 24-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
