T
he Browns have made offers to keep starting quarterback Derek Anderson and running back Jamal Lewis, both free-agents!
Anderson with the help of Lewis won 10 games after taking the starting position from Charlie Frye. With him becoming a restricted free agent on Feb. 29th the Browns are trying everything they can to keep him. Rumor has it that they offered him a 3 year deal but the amount is unknown at this time!
The benefit of him being a “restricted” free agent is that the browns organization has the ability to match any contract offer by any other NFL team!
Jamal Lewis rushed for 1,304 yards with 9 TD’s in his first season with the browns. The Browns signed him to a one-year deal after the Ravens let him go. Guess he wasn’t good enough for them anymore. Thank You! They signed him to a one year incentive-stuffed contract worth 5 million. Jamal Lewis has said that he would want to stay with Cleveland. Once a Brownie always a Brownie, unless your Charlie Frye.
He is also a “restricted” free agent so he too could get pricey if other teams show interest and begin to throw money at the 28 year old. Only in football a 28 year old is considered an old timer in the position of running back.
Stay tuned here as we find out more about contract negotiations and where Quinn sits in all of this!
