Browns running back Jamal Lewis wants to finish his career in Cleveland. Now he'll have a chance to do just that.
Lewis, 28, agreed Thursday to a three-year contract through 2010, the Browns announced. It is believed to be worth $17 million. Lewis made $5 million last season, including $1.5 million in incentives.
Anderson, Winslow headed to Pro Bowl
Browns Quarterback Derek Anderson and tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. were named to the AFC Pro Bowl team Monday, becoming the fifth and sixth Browns headed to Honolulu.
The Browns haven't had that many Pro Bowl participants since 1995. They haven't had more then six since sending eight in 1988.
Anderson and Winslow both were first alternates when the Pro Bowl teams were announced in December. Anderson will replace the Patriots' Tom Brady, while Winslow will replace Antonio Gates of the Chargers.
The 2008 Pro Bowl will be played Sunday, Feb. 10 at 4:30 p.m. EST and be broadcast live on FOX.

Recent Headlines
Since I last posted to the page a few things have happened with the Browns that are worth noting;
1) Romeo Crennel signed a two year contract extension through 2011. It was reported that the contract is worth $2 Million per year.
2) Contract offers have been sent to Derrick Anderson and Jamal Lewis in hopes of resigning them before free agency gets into full swing on February 29th. I beleive they will re-sign Lewis without too much trouble (look for a two year deal and then he will retire). Time will tell if Anderson's agents and the Browns are on the same page.
3) Winslow will have off-season knee surgery. He had postponded scheduling it hoping that he would get a shot as a Pro-Bowl alternate. Antonio Gates did not opt out by the deadline (Wednesday, Jan 30) so KII has gone ahead and scheduled the surgery.
4) Long snapper, Ryan Pontibrand, was named to the AFC Pro-Bowl roster. Pontibrand along with Braylon Edwards, Josh Cribbs, and Joe Thomas makes more Browns going to the Pro Bowl than I can recall in a long, long time.
