Jamal Lewis: Browns running back is an interesting case. The Browns will owe him a $3.5 million bonus March 13. But even if they elect to cut him before then, they still will owe him $2.4 million in base salary, which is guaranteed.

According to Rotoworld & the OBR, the roster bonus is actually $4M.

But what if he agrees to reduce the roster bonus to $2M? Then you'd have a choice between paying him $2.4M not to play & paying him $4.4M to be a veteran leader in the clubhouse and possibly your starting RB.

If he agreed to that, I'd probably keep him.

I agree. He was not utilized properly this year. With zero innovation in our running game, he still averaged 3 yards a carry behind a diminished line. There's always a spot for a guy like that in the NFL.

Our o-line weakness was in the middle and our running plays never left the tackle box. Feature Harrison, send him outside more than once a month, & let JL be your bruiser. Especially in Dec/ January!!

He has seen better days, It would be nice to keep him around for the leadership, but not at the current wage.
