— Running back Jamal Lewis has agreed to terms on a three-year contract to stay with the Cleveland Browns. Lewis was to become an unrestricted free agent next week. But the Browns, who went 10-6 and barely missed the playoffs last season, didn't want to risk losing the bruising back after he rushed for more than 1,300 yards.

Lewis proved he could be an effective every-down back in 2007. After signing a one-year, incentive-laded free-agent deal in March, he gained 1,304 yards and scored nine touchdowns. Only Hall of Famer Jim Brown has run for more yards in a season for the Browns.
