Quote:I'd say who cares either way.  Lewis is playing better late in the season because the QB has started targeting him, and the offensive coordinator has started calling plays that utilize his strengths in the receiving game.  Lewis has never been nearly as bad as some here would like to claim.  He simply hasn't been used properly.  He's had his issues, but when they get him in mismatches where he has a huge height advantage, they're only just now realizing what he can do. 

 

He's not going anywhere, and he's not playing up because he's in a contract year.  The OP was wrong about that.  He's playing up because they're giving him a more prominent role.  Has nothing to do with his contract.
