NAPA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders signed kicker Sebastian Janikowski to a four-year extension Friday, ensuring the franchises leading scorer will remain with the team through at least 2017. Janikowski is coming off the best season of his career. He converted a career-best 91.2 per cent (31 of 34) of his field goal attempts in 2012. The only misses came from 51, 61 and 64 yards. The 35-year-old kicker needs only 10 field goals of 50 yards or longer to break Jason Hansons NFL record. Janikowski already owns multiple league records, including a share of the mark for the longest field goal made. The move was slightly surprising after Oakland opted not to re-sign perennial Pro Bowl punter Shane Lechler in the off-season, breaking up one of the top kicking tandems in the NFL.

I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and work to protect and serve ALL people. So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately.According to USA Today, Kaepernick reportedly wore the socks as early as Aug. 10, but he had not been asked about them. Images of the socks were posted on social media Wednesday night and quickly created a stir.Its just ridiculous that the same league that prohibits the Dallas [Cowboys] football club from honoring the slain officers in their community with their uniforms stands silent when Kaepernick is dishonoring police officers with what hes wearing on the field, Bill Johnson, executive director of the National Association of Police Organizations, said, according to USA TODAY Sports.?I think the league is in a downward spiral regarding their obligations to the public under [commissioner] Roger Goodell, and this is just another example of that.The league has taken action in the past for what players wear at practice. The NFL told the Patriots this summer that players must wear numbers on their practice uniforms, in part to moonitor injured players.dddddddddddd Its not clear if the league would come down on Kaepernicks statement socks. According to USA Today, the league said it would not comment until it spoke to the Niners.On Sunday, Kaepernick said he welcomed the attention that his stance has garnered.The fact that it has blown up like this, I think its a good thing. It brings awareness, he said. Now, I think people are really talking about it. Having conversations about how to make change. Whats really going on in this country. And we can move forward. ... There is police brutality. People of color have been targeted by police. So thats a large part of it, and theyre government officials. They are put in place by the government. So thats something that this country has to change. Theres things we can do to hold them more accountable. Make those standards higher.Kaepernick is expected to play Thursday night against the San Diego Chargers, who will be holding their annual salute to the military at the game. He has indicated that he will continue to sit for the national anthem until he sees change in the country.The socks are not the first apparel that Kaepernick has worn to make a statement. He also wore a Fidel Castro T-shirt and a Malcolm X hat last week. He has not been seen by the media wearing the socks since a San Francisco police officers union official complained about his lack of sensitivity on Monday.Johnson, who represents more than 240,000 active law enforcement officers, called Kaepernick wearing the socks disrespectful, according to USA Today.It doesnt seem like hes thought through or bothered to educate himself about the way [law enforcement officers] are out there trying to do a very difficult job, and the vast majority of the time get the job done right, Johnson said, according to the newspaper.
