CINCINNATI -- Bengals owner Mike Brown said Tuesday he plans to proceed at his own pace regarding any potential contract extension with coach Marvin Lewis.

Lewis, who is entering his 15th season in Cincinnati, will begin the season on the final year of his contract for the first time since 2010. Lewis signed one-year extensions in 2014-16.

"When I think it's the right thing to do, to rev that up, I will, but I'm not going to be delving into it publicly," Brown said.

Although Brown said there no parameters on a new contract, including a certain win/loss record or a playoff win, he admitted the situation did put some pressure on Lewis to succeed.
