The Cleveland Browns announced their release of veteran running back Jamal Lewis Wednesday as the team continues its makeover under new president Mike Holmgren.
The release makes Lewis an unrestricted free agent and free to sign with any team if he doesn't retire.

“Here’s a reality of this league,” John started, “you never pick up where you left off the season before. We’re never back to a minute left in the AFC championship game ready to take it to the Super Bowl. We’re not there until we earn our way back there again. Every team starts over, and the foundation for us starts right now. We build the whole thing from scratch."

There goes the Browns' chance to trade Jamal for Antonio Cromartie! ;) All they would have to do would be to convince them that Jamal's 2000-yard-season was in 2009...

8-Ball Jamal cant retire

During a difficult season with the Cleveland Browns, veteran running back Jamal Lewis decided he'd had enough; he began openly talking about retirement.

But with Lewis not officially retiring, the team opted to cut him loose.

And though it's possible that he might never play again, he apparently has more than 25 million reasons to consider an eleventh NFL season.

A reader has tipped us off to a December 2008 civil judgment against Lewis and two other defendants. It appears that the plaintiff, Stillwater Asset Backed Fund, L.P., had at some point obtained a judgment against Lewis and two other entities in Georgia, and that an action was filed in Ohio in the hopes of pursuing any local assets of Lewis and/or the other two defendants.
