PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The Portland Trail Blazers have signed restricted free agent forward Paul Millsap to an offer sheet.

The Utah Jazz have seven days to match the offer.

The Blazers say the terms of the offer Friday are not disclosed because of team policy.

Millsap's agent did not immediately respond to phone calls and e-mails seeking comment.

Millsap averaged 13.5 points for the Jazz last season, getting double-doubles in 19 straight games while starting for Carlos Boozer, and has career averages of 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds since the Jazz selected him with the No. 47 pick in the 2006 draft.
