Packers bringing back TE Marcedes Lewis
The Green Bay Packers keep re-signing their own guys.
ESPN is reporting that tight end Marcedes Lewis has agreed to a two-year, $8 million contract to return for a fourth season with Green Bay.
Green Bay and TE Marcedes Lewis reached agreement on a two-year, $8 million deal that includes $4 million in guaranteed money, per source. Lewis will be returning for his 16th season, he’ll be 37 in May, and he still shows no signs of letting up.

Lewis has started 30 games over the past three seasons, catching 28 passes and four touchdowns. Where he’s made a bigger impact is in the run game and opening up holes for Green Bay’s backs.
The soon-to-be 37-year-old is also one of quarterback Aaron Rodgers best friends on the team and a guy that brings a real leadership presence to the locker room.
Lewis is the latest unrestricted free agent to re-sign with the club, joining running back Aaron Jones and cornerback Kevin King.
