Jamal Lewis said it more than once: He’s planning to retire.
But since Lewis hasn’t formally gone through with the move, the Browns were forced to terminate his contract Wednesday.
Lewis actually left the door open to a possible return to football in early January, but he was set to meet with post-concussion specialists and it sounds like a long shot.
In a league where most running backs don’t get a second contract, it says a lot that Lewis got two from the Browns late in his career. His foot speed slowed over the years, but he never was accused of playing without total effort.
Former PFT scribe Aaron Wilson points out that Lewis is well set up for life after football as the owner of a successful trucking business.
