Savage: Lewis deal about done
General Manager Phil Savage said on WTAM-AM radio in Cleveland this morning that a contract with Browns running back Jamal Lewis is close to getting done.
Savage is in Indianapolis at the NFL Scouting Combine, along with head coach Romeo Crennel.
Savage said the Lewis deal could be done within the next 24 hours. It is believed to be a two-year deal with an option for a third. Not clear if that would be a club or player option.
Lewis, who revived his career by rushing for 1,304 yards last season, his first with the Browns, can become a free agent next week if he doesn’t sign. Getting him back in the fold has been an offseason priority, along with signing quarterback Derek Anderson.
Savage told the radio station he expects to meet today in Indianapolis with Anderson’s people and remains optimistic a deal will be struck before free agency starts.
Anderson, coming off a year in which he threw 29 touchdown passes in his first season as a starter, can be a restricted free agent if nothing gets done.
