Josina Anderson of ESPN reports that the Lions, Jets, Cardinals and an NFC South team have all made “preliminary inquiries” regarding free agent CB Keenan Lewis.
“I wouldn’t mind playing with (Darrelle) Revis,” Lewis tells Anderson. “Bruce Arians was also coaching with the Steelers when I was there. I wouldn’t mind playing with Patrick Peterson too. Those teams are only getting stronger. I just want to put myself in the best situation. I want to play two to three more years and my goal is to win a Super Bowl.”

Josh Katzenstein is reporting that the Steelers are bringing in veteran CB Keenan Lewis for a visit Tuesday night.
- According to Katzenstein, there are “at least” six teams currently interested Lewis.
Last night, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette mentioned that the Steelers would entertain the idea of re-signing Lewis. However, Dulac admitted that Lewis’ hip injury remains a “big concern.”
The Saints officially released Lewis on Monday, so he’s now an unrestricted free agent.
Lewis previously told Mike Triplett that he’s excited and ready for a fresh start with a new team.
Lewis, 30, is a former third-round pick of the Steelers back in 2009. He spent four years in Pittsburgh before signing a five-year, $25.5 million contract with the Saints in 2013.
New Orleans cut him loose in a move that freed up $2.75 million in available cap space.
In 2015, Lewis was limited to appearing in six games and recording six tackles, no interceptions and two pass defenses.
