Peyton Hillis - RB - Cleveland Browns
Jan. 30, 2012 - 8:05 PM ET
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Browns now want to re-sign Peyton Hillis after the impending free agent "worked his way back into the team's good graces" down the stretch.
The Plain Dealer cautions that the Browns would only re-sign Hillis "at the right price," but their interest is renewed after a split looked inevitable in the season's first half. The Browns will begin contract talks with their free agents "over the next month or so." For the 26-year-old Hillis, a deal like Pierre Thomas' four-year, $11.2 million pact would be a reasonable starting point. Hillis may look more toward Ahmad Bradshaw's $18 million over four years.
