A Lewis-Droughns pairing seems least likely, though the team does have the salary cap space to keep both.From the Akron Beacon Journal: Pre-draft scuttlebutt has had the Browns greatly interested in Peterson, but the addition of Lewis could open the door for a quarterback with the third pick. Team owner Randy Lerner was among those who attended the workout of Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn last Sunday.
The Ravens released Lewis eight days ago. He was due a $5 million roster bonus, and the Ravens' intent was to re-sign Lewis to a more salary-cap friendly contract.
But Lewis balked at the Ravens' offer -- a league source said it was about $1.2 million and up to $2 million with incentives -- and the Browns swooped in. According to ESPN.com, Lewis will get $3.5 million and could make $5 million with incentives.
Lewis seemed to build his career on tormenting the Browns.
His 295-yard game in 2003 remains the NFL single-game record, and in the second game against the Browns that year he ran for 205 yards. His 2,066-yard season in '03 is the second best in NFL history.
