Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner tweeted Tuesday that he was reinstated by the NFL following his suspension in December for violating the leagues policy on substance abuse. Kevin Pierre-Louis Seahawks Jersey . Browner announced the news via a lengthy statement on his Twitter page. Browner was suspended indefinitely without pay by the league on Dec. 18. The reinstatement will make Browner a free agent as his contract with the Seahawks ended after this season. Browners agent, Peter Schaffer, also confirmed the reinstatement to The Associated Press. "I now have the opportunity to prove to the fans and my teammates how important this sport is to me," Browner wrote. "I realize now more than ever that being part of the NFL is not a right, but a privilege." The suspension was the second in two seasons for Browner. He was suspended four games last season for violating the leagues policy on performance-enhancing substances. He was the second Seahawks player to be suspended for violating the substance abuse policy during the 2013 season, along with fellow cornerback Walter Thurmond. From the start, Browner did not agree with the length of the suspension. "I am grateful that Commissioner Goodell and my agent were able to resolve this issue in a positive, productive manner so I can continue my career, provide for my family, and help my team win a Super Bowl," Browner wrote. "Thank you to all who have gone out of their way to show their support. I will live up to your expectations of me." Browner was in his third season with the Seahawks when the suspension came down. He started all 26 games he played for the Seahawks and had 19 tackles, one interception and 10 passes defenced this season. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2011 when he had 23 passes defenced and six interceptions, but had not been able to match those numbers in the subsequent two seasons. Zach Miller Womens Jersey .

Bryan Murray made an announcement after the GMs meetings - and as was reported by Pierre LeBrun a couple of weeks ago - that Jason Spezza wants a trade out of Ottawa. Whats the latest on that? Pierre LeBrun: Yes, he made it public.SANDWICH, England -- Ben Curtis never gets too worked up about anything. Back in 2003, when he pulled off one of the most stunning wins in golf history, Curtis didnt comprehend the significance until he returned to the U.S. "We came down the escalator in baggage claim and there were thousands of people down there," Curtis recalled Monday. "Thats when it really hit that this was a lot bigger deal than I thought it was." And now that hes back at the scene of his improbable British Open triumph, hows he feeling? Same as always. "I just got here and got acclimated a little bit with the course and the grounds again," Curtis said, looking and sounding as if he might doze off any second. "Im sure on Thursday Ill be a bit more excited and a bit more fired up and ready to go." Lately, Curtis hasnt had much reason to get excited about his game. Hes missed more cuts than hes made this season, so naturally he hopes that being back at Royal St. Georges will give him a bit of a spark. "It definitely gives you a little bit of confidence because you know youve done it before, and theres no reason why you cant do it again," Curtis said. "I just hope this is my week. But Im not going to think about holding that trophy yet. Hopefully when the last putt is holed on Sunday, it will be coming my way." Then again, the 34-year-old has never put much stock in karma. He certainly doesnt think hes got some sort of special edge just because he claimed the claret jug eight years ago at this course on the English coast. Curtis didnt even bother trying to follow the identical routine that worked so well in 03. Back then, he stayed at a place that wasnt much bigger than the podium he was sitting on for his interview in the media centre. This time, he bashfully admitted to doling out more than $10,000 for a home that could accommodate all his family and friends for the week. "Im not a big believer that you have to do the same thing every time you come back," Curtis said. "Im just trying to keep it relaxed and enjoyable for everybody so when I get back to the house, its not about the golf. Its just about being together." While Curtis has put together a solid career -- hes won two more times on the PGA Tour and played on the American team that won the 2008 Ryder Cup -- but hes still known mainly as the guy who won a major championship on his very first try. That week, he arrived at Royal St. Georges ranked No. 396 in the world, barely known in golf. But something clicked over those four days, giving hope to everyone who supposedly doesnt have a chance. Kyle Stanley was the last guy to qualify for this British Open, earning his spot with a runner-up finish Sunday at the John Deere Classic. This will be his first major championship as a professional, and he doesnt have much experience at links golf. Theres no reason for him to feel he can actually win. Then he thinks of whatt Curtis did. Russell Wilson Seahawks Jersey. "This game is a lot of instinct, a lot of feel," Stanley said, looking a bit bleary-eyed after an overnight flight from the States. "You never know when its going to be your week." Eight years ago, Curtis arrived in England with few expectations. "Really, the only goal I had was to play four days and see what it was like," he said. "It was my first major. I just wanted to see what it was like and just enjoy it. I never thought (about winning) coming in here. I said, This is the last time I might play in it." Now, hes good to go until age 65. Looking back, Curtis sensed it was going be his week the night before the final round. He was solidly in contention, though still barely noticed among the bigger names on the leaderboard. His now-wife Candace asked him what he expected to do the next day. "I just kind of looked at her," Curtis remembered, "and said, Im going to win." Win he did, though he was a bit shaky coming down the stretch and needed plenty of help from Thomas Bjorn, who squandered a two-stroke lead with four holes to play. "I think we had a little bit of a wait on 12," Curtis said. "Thats when it kind of sunk in that Im leading the tournament ... that I could win this tournament. Thats when the rookie nerves came in." He pulled himself together and finished with a 2-under 69 that left him as the only player to break par. Bjorn, after recapturing the lead, threw it all away when he bogeyed the 15th, then needed three shots to escape a pot bunker at the par-3 16th. Curtis had already finished his round by the time Bjorn fell apart. In fact, he got word of the triumph from caddie Andy Sutton -- hired only at the start of the week -- while on the practice range getting ready for a possible playoff. The extra holes, it turned out, werent needed. Curtis kept Sutton on his bag until about a year ago, when he decided to switch in hopes of breaking his slump. The two remain close, however, and the caddie even popped in to see his former boss Sunday night. "He actually surprised me at the house," Curtis said. "I was grilling chicken on the grill and here he comes walking out with one of the kids in his arms. Im like, How did you get here? I didnt know he was coming. But hes a good friend of mine, and we still talk regularly." Theyll be seeing plenty of each other in the first two rounds. Sutton is now working for Aaron Baddeley, who is paired with Curtis and Paul Casey on Thursday and Friday. There might be another reunion this week. Bjorn got into the tournament as an alternate Monday, giving him a chance to make up for what happened eight years ago -- even as Curtis tries to repeat it. "Its just a terrible thing that happened to him," Curtis said. "Thomas is a good guy and a good player, and it would be a shame if (he was) not here playing this week." cheap jerseys cheap jerseys from china ' ' '
