Lewis not among final cuts
Looks like veteran running back Jamal Lewis will be staying with the Browns, after all.
Despite days of national speculation to the contrary, the 30-year-old Lewis was not among the 23 cuts announced this afternoon by first-year coach Eric Mangini.
The only notable subtractions, in fact, were linebacker Beau Bell, a fourth-round pick in 2008, and veteran receiver David Patten.
Bell was a remnant of former general manager Phil Savage final draft and helped contribute to his demise by not amounting to anything.
Remember how Savage trumpeted Bell as a guy with a second-round grade and what a steal the Browns were getting in the fourth? I laughed then and it’s just as sad/funny now.
The moves leave the roster at 52, one under the NFL limit. Here’s the complete list:
Waived
FB Charles Ali, DB Brandon Anderson, QB Richard Bartel, DB Tra Battle, LB Beau Bell, OL Branndon Braxton, LB Titus Brown, OL Dustin Fry, DL Adam Hoppel, WR Paul Hubbard, RB Chris Jennings, WR Lance Leggett, OL Pat Murray, WR Jordan Norwood, OL Kurt Quarterman, DL Brian Schaefering, OL Isaac Sowells, DL Santonio Thomas.
Contract terminated
DB Hamza Abdullah, RB Noah Herron, DB Corey Ivy, WR David Patten, TE Aaron Walker.
In addition, the team reached an injury settlement with DL Melila Purcell, who had been on the club’s injured reserve list.
