CLEVELAND

Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell has apologized for posting a drawing on Instagram last week showing a police officer getting his throat slashed.

Crowell posted the drawing after men in Louisiana and Minnesota were shot and killed by police. He subsequently deleted the post, but a screenshot continued to be circulated on social media, prompting his apology Monday.

Five police officers were killed in a sniper attack in Dallas last Thursday night at a protest over the two deaths. Seven other officers and two civilians were wounded.

“I posted an image to Instagram in the midst of that emotion that I shouldn’t have and immediately removed it. It was an extremely poor decision and I apologize for that mistake and for offending people. My values and beliefs do not match that image. I am outraged and upset by the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile along with so many others. I am also outraged and saddened by the attacks in Dallas and the deaths of the 5 honorable police officers (Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Michael J. Smith, Brent Thompson and Patrick Zamarripa) who were providing protection while trying to keep peace. We have to be better as a society, it’s not about color, it’s about what’s right and wrong. I was very wrong in posting that image. Every single life matters, every death as a result of violence should be treated with equal outrage and penalty.”

Giants

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Punter Brad Wing has signed a contract extension through 2019 with the New York Giants.

Wing, acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh just before last season, heads into his third pro season. In 2015, Wing had a 38.9-yard net average on 76 punts. He placed 33 punts inside the 20, tying a team record, with 10 touchbacks, and his longest kick traveled 64 yards.

The Australian kicker played at LSU and signed with the Eagles as a free agent in 2013. He was cut in training camp and moved to the Steelers in 2014.

Ricky Williams

NEW YORK (AP) — Former running back Ricky Williams says he went through “at least 500” drug tests during his 11-year NFL career.

The 1998 Heisman Trophy winner at Texas and firstround draft pick by New Orleans in ‘99 tells Sports Illustrated in a film to be released on SI.com on Wednesday that he “might have the world record for most times drug tested.”

Williams, who also played for Miami and Baltimore, sat out the 2006 season while suspended by the league for violating the substance abuse policy.

Ricky’s wife, Kristin, outlines in the film how lax NFL testing standards were, including when a tester left the samples at the Williamses’ house to go get stickers for identifying them.

“He left for 45 minutes and then came back with the stickers he needed,” she says, adding some of the drug testers were “like family.”

Von Miller

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos have boosted their offer to Von Miller, a person with knowledge of the proposal has told The Associated Press. The Super Bowl MVP has threatened to sit out the 2016 season without a long-term deal.

A month ago, Miller’s camp agreed to the parameters of the Broncos’ $114.5 million, six-year offer that would have made Miller the NFL’s highest paid non-quarterback but they wanted more guaranteed money. The proposal included $38.5 million fully guaranteed over the first two years with the possibility of another $19.5 million that wouldn’t kick in until Year 3.
