He had eight carries for 28 yards in just five games during his injury-short- ened 10th NFL season. "Continue to work hard, that's it," Bush said. "Just continue to do the things that have kept me successful. Until I offi- cially decide to be done with this game I'm go- ing to give it 110 percent whether it's rehabbing, whether it's in the weight room, whether it's on the football field," Bush said. "That's always been my motivation. ... I've always given my full attention to this game until I'm done with it, because I don't want to have any regrets when I'm done." Bush FROM PAGE 1 I was pre-judged by a lot of people. He's a great team- mate." Crabtree's signing, Woodson noted, is an in- dication that players from around the league are look- ing at the Raiders differ- ently than in years past when the team struggled to sign quality free agents. Despite losing four of its last five games, Oakland is 5-7 with a slim chance of finishing the season with a winning record for the first time since 2002. "It's great because you hear that people don't want to come to Oakland, don't want to play in Oak- land," Woodson said. "But I think things are starting to change. With Crabtree signing his deal, I think other free agents will take notice once free agency comes back around. They'll want to know why — why do you want to stay around here?" The Crabtree signing completed a busy week for the Raiders, who on Mon- day signed fullback Jamize Olawale to a three-year ex- tension. Crabtree's extension, which makes him the sec- ond-highest paid player on the roster behind center Rodney Hudson, also en- sures that the core of Oak- land's offense will stay in- tact. Derek Carr has passed for more than 3,100 yards in each of his first two sea- sons and is the fifth-rated quarterback in the AFC while Cooper leads all rookies in receptions and receiving yardage. Run- ning back Latavius Mur- ray also leads the AFC with 851 yards. "We're building," Crab- tree said. "We've got some good guys in the locker room, offense and de- fensive-wise. We've got a good receiving corps right now and I feel like we can build on (it). We're just growing and I'm happy to be here taking on what- ever role they need me to take on. "I've seen it, man. I've been to playoffs and Super Bowls. Last thing on my list is to win a Super Bowl. Whatever we need to do to get there, we're going to do it." Notes • Hudson (ankle) prac- ticed for the first time in nearly two weeks and took reps with the first-team offense. Barring a setback, he's expected to start. • Woodson (shoulder), DE Khalil Mack (knee) and RB Taiwan Jones (knee) all practiced after sitting out Wednesday. Crabtree FROM PAGE 1 By Ronald Blum The Associated Press NASHVILLE, TENN. Base- ball executives headed home Thursday with top free-agent sluggers still on the market and trade talk percolating that could lead to more swaps in coming weeks. Outfielder Jason Hey- ward and first baseman Chris Davis figure to strike the largest deals among hitters. The top pitchers already have signed, with David Price getting a $217 million, seven-year con- tract with Boston and Zack Greinke a $206.5 million, six-year deal with Arizona. "I think the market is waiting to see what hap- pens with Jason Heyward," said Arizona general man- ager Dave Stewart, who fi- nalized Greinke's deal and acquired Shelby Miller dur- ing the meetings. Dan Duquette, the Bal- timore Orioles' executive vice president for base- ball operations, thinks it is clear why pitchers were pursued first. "There's more teams chasing fewer players in that market. Supply and demand," he said. Teams announced 10 trades and 11 free agent signings at the meetings, and several more free agents reached agreements that have not yet been an- nounced. In moves Thursday as people left, reliever Jona- than Broxton stayed with the St. Louis Cardinals, agreeing to a $7.5 million, two-year contract, and re- liever Juan Nicasio agreed to a deal with Pittsburgh, one week after he was cut by the Los Angeles Dodg- ers. Reliever Tony Sipp stayed with the Houston Astros for an $18 million, three-year contact and first baseman Mark Reynolds accepted a $2.6 million, one-year contract with the Colorado Rockies. Those two deals were disclosed by a person familiar with each negotiation who spoke on condition of anonymity be- cause no announcement was made. While a ballroom at the Gaylord Opryland Re- sort & Convention Center was set up with a dais, 105 MLB logos as a backdrop, 150 seats in front and 336 media work spaces to the side, not a single trade or signing was announced at the podium. The only ac- tive player who spoke un- der the lights was Ben Zo- brist, a Nashville resident who appeared Wednesday, a day after he finalized a contract with the Chi- cago Cubs. Teams prefer to make announcements in their suites. In the old days, clubs liked the national stage of the meetings and of- ten tried to have the core of their rosters in place be- fore the holiday break. New York Yankees gen- eral manager Brian Cash- man said the feeling-out process in trade talk can be lengthy. He used a surf- ing analogy. "You're sitting on a board, waiting for the right wave to come," he said. "And if it doesn't come, you paddle back to shore and walk on the beach, plant the board and then show up the next day and swim on out and see if any more good waves come. And if they do come, you ride it. And if they don't come, you wait for that right wave." Talks with free agents who turned down $15.8 million qualifying offers from their former clubs can be complicated by ret- icence to give up draft pick compensation.

Palmer connected on scoring plays of 65 yards to John Brown and 42 to Michael Floyd.

Arizona moved down- field and left guard Mike Iupati caught a deflected pass for 11 yards in the drive to the decisive field goal. The Vikings fumbled the ball away three times: once deep in Arizona territory; again near midfield to lead to a Cardinals touchdown; and finally when Freeney, who signed with Arizona on Oct. 13, burst around the left side of the Minne- sota line to knock the ball away and preserve the vic- tory. Peterson had one of the fumbles. Josh Mauro knocked the ball away from him and Alex Oka- for recovered at the Ari- zona 43.
