FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Free-agent running back Dion Lewis intends to sign a four-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The pact has a maximum value of $23 million, and includes $11.5 million in guarantees, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson.
That is a nice haul for Lewis, and it falls into a similar category as Danny Amendola's reported two-year agreement with the Dolphins: While the New England Patriots would have liked to have Lewis back, they had a certain role in mind -- and a financial figure to go with it -- and the Titans trumped it.
