The Facts:
Browns GM Phil Savage said Tuesday he's optimistic the Browns will sign Anderson to a three-year deal before he becomes a restricted free agent on Feb. 28. "Talks have been a little more frequent in recent days," Savage said. "It seems that the three-year deal is becoming more the focus. We've had pretty good dialogue and will continue over the [NFL scouting] combine." Savage also said he's optimistic RB Jamal Lewis will be back next season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Savage and Anderson's agent, Mark Humenik, will be in Indianapolis for the combine over the next several days. The Browns have until Feb. 28 to sign Anderson to a multi-year deal or must tender him a one-year offer as a restricted free agent, meaning they retain a right of first refusal. Savage has said he'd give Anderson the high tender of $2.562 million, requiring a team to give the Browns a 1st- and 3rd-round pick if they signed him. But Savage is increasingly confident it won't get to that point. ... We shall see.
