BOSTON — The highway from Boston to Tennessee is apparently wide open.
Dion Lewis, after three seasons in New England, has agreed to sign a new contract with the Titans, according to a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Lewis was featured in a crowded Patriots backfield but was unlikely to sign a lucrative deal should he chosen to stay in New England.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport pegs the agreement as a four-year deal that will pay him among the top 10 running backs in the game.
