Reaction: The Good, The Bad, The Marvin Lewis extension

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Wednesday that head coach Marvin Lewis has signed a one-year extension, securing another year in a contract that could be viewed as a "rolling deal". The one-year extension is the third extension that Lewis has signed on his existing contract.

Lewis famously allowed his current contract to expire after the 2010 season, eventually re-signing a two-year deal worth $6.5 million. Cincinnati shocked, well everyone, by making the postseason on a six-win turnaround with a rookie quarterback. Lewis was signed to a three-year extension following that season and then back-to-back one-year deals.
