The article doesn't really expand on this at all.

Nothing in that article stated we were fighting to keep him.

It was more like we would like to keep him. But likely the market will price him out of the range we are willing to pay him. Nothing new.

However the article sez nothing new.

I guess fighting is one way to do it...maybe Lewis will be impressed by their martial arts skills. Offering him a competitive deal would be another way to re-sign him.

Not gonna happen unless he takes a sizable discount.

Clickbait headline based loosely on a "report" from the King of Shotgun Speculation, Jason LaCanfora.

That article based on this one:

Expect the 49ers to land at least one more big-ticket item, and more free-agency notes

The 49ers still have plenty of cap space and are prepared to spend. Expect them to land at least one more big-ticket item this week at the onset of free agency – specifically, receiver Allen Robinson, who is among the most sought-after players in a largely weak free-agent class. And how do you think Dion Lewis, the best available option at running back, would look in that backfield as a replacement for oft-injured free agent Carlos Hyde?

As for Lewis, his ability to operate as a difference-maker out in space as well as being a powerful runner between the tackles makes him quite attractive to various teams. New England is going to attempt to fight to keep him, from what I gather, but his price-point may far outpace what the Pats are used to spending at the running back position. The Jets, Titans and Colts are also in play for Lewis, sources said, while I can't help but wonder if the Bucs, Browns and Raiders will get involved when the market opens this week.

Cat fight!



Except it's La Canfora reporting, which means in reality that the Patriots have already moved on.
