Cincinnati— The front office won't change significantly. The Bengals will still be practicing in the cold. Even with all that, Marvin Lewis decided to stay. Lewis agreed to an unspecified contract extension Tuesday that will make him the longest-tenured coach in club history. Owner Mike Brown agreed to changes in the coaching staff and the roster as part of a deal that left both sides comfortable.

The Bengals are coming off a 4-12 season and have had only two winning records the last 20 years — both coming under Lewis, who is 60-69-1 in eight seasons, including losses in both playoff appearances.


We have a good relationship, Marvin and I," Brown said.

Team officials initially offered an extension last season, when the Bengals won the AFC North.

"When you consider all things, looking forward and so forth, I think this is the right spot for me to be," Lewis said.
Raiders drop Cable

Therapists sue Favre

Jets officials say a lawsuit filed against the team and Brett Favre by two massage therapists is "completely without merit," and the team had not been aware of the accusations.

Christina Scavo and Shannon O'Toole contend in a lawsuit filed Monday they were subjected to sexual harassment and job discrimination. They are seeking unspecified damages from Favre, the Jets and a team massage coordinator, saying they lost their part-time jobs after complaining about sexually suggestive text messages from the 41-year-old quarterback while he was with the team in 2008.
