PRO: Lewis’ speed and playmaking abilities were showcased in 2006 on both the defense and special teams units. He started the 2005 opener vs. Green Bay but an ankle injury early in the game ended his season. He made an immediate impact as a rookie, both on special teams and at linebacker, playing in 15 games (one start). He exhibited some playmaking ability with a sack, two interceptions and four pass defenses. The speedy linebacker started 23-of-27 games at Wisconsin after joining the Badgers as a junior, playing his first two seasons at SUNY-Morrisville.

looks like this could be a real steal in this year's FA.

Marv and Modrak don't know what they're doing /sarcasm.

He was a restricted free agent? What was his tender from the Lions?

Apparently, he's seen the field, so he's obviously more than just a STer.
