02/09/2012 - Hamilton, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tiger-Cats signed Bakari Grant to a contract extension that will keep the receiver in Hamilton through the 2014 season.
Grant caught 42 passes for 507 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie last season, adding 10 receptions for 184 yards and a score in two playoff games.

The Ticats also signed receiver Terence Jeffers-Harris to a new contract after he finished the 2011 campaign on the club's practice roster. He had been released by Winnipeg during the season.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
