      Jamal Lewis might not be able to retire

      Posted by Mike Florio on February 17, 2010 6:13 PM ET

      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.

      With interest and attorneys' fees, the total bill as of December 2008 was more than $25 million.

      It's unknown whether the matter has been resolved, but anyone possessing a civil judgment worth more than $25 million holds a damn strong chip. Unless Lewis found a way to stick the other defendants (Top Flight Investment, LLC, and Matthew White) with the bill, Lewis either wrote a big check or still needs to write one.

      Either way, there's a good chance he needs more football money.

              His agent suggested that he could contribute in a limited role, and compared him to Bettis. I'd love a Bettis type to pair with Mendy, but not Lewis.

                  Id be okay with it if he has anything left in the tank.
                  It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...

                      I hear we need good goal line power back.
