On Thursday afternoon, that optimism was rewarded with a multiyear contract. Lewis agreed in principle in a deal to stay with the Browns more than two years. Terms of the deal, including the length, are not known other than Lewis signed for more than two years. A Browns announcement is expected later Thursday afternoon.
A year ago, Lewis left the Baltimore Ravens to sign a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Browns, who had former Ravens chief scout Phil Savage as their general manager. He had rushed for 3.4 and 3.6 yards a carry in his final two seasons with the Ravens. Lewis re-established himself as one of the best backs in football rushing for 1,304 yards and scoring nine rushing touchdowns last year.
As the 10-6 season ended, Lewis vowed to be even better in 2008. His plan is to be among the league leaders in rushing. With a multiyear contract behind him, Lewis can worry about moving ahead in the Browns offense and trying to lead the Browns to a playoff berth.

SO MUCH FOR THAT IDEA

 

So much for what idea? We were never going to sign him.

 

They would have thought about it maybe? if he hit the harket? but micheal "the burner" turner is the shit so
