February 26, 2008 Last week it was reported in the media that Cleveland RB Jamal Lewis signed a three-year deal with approximately $6 million in guaranteed money, but those figures were a little off, according to a report at ProFootballTalk.com. League insiders are suggesting the deal will pay Lewis $6.5 million during the first season and another $3.5 million in guaranteed money during 2009. Lewis started 15 games last season posting 298 carries, 1304 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground.
February 21, 2008 Jamal Lewis signed a 3-year deal to remain the Browns lead running back according to NFL.com. I feel the future is extremely bright for this team and Im excited to be a part of it for another three years. I said all year long that I wanted to get a long-term deal done to stay in Cleveland and it looks like with this new contract I will be able to finish my career as a Brown. Lewis finished fifth in the NFL last season with 1304 yards, and his rough, up the middle running style plays well when the weather turns cold. Lewis also scored nine TD and figures to be a solid RB2 next season.
