The Facts:
Chip Kelly's overhaul of the Philadelphia Eagles continued Thursday with a player-for-player trade. The Eagles shipped Lewis to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for linebacker Emmanuel Acho.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It's not exactly a high-octane swap, but Acho gives Kelly a young, second-year linebacker to add to the mix. Lewis is essentially a fringe performer. With just 36 carries for 171 yards in his first two seasons, the 2011 fifth-round draft pick fell behind Bryce Brown on the depth chart last season. Reports suggested the 5-8, 195-pound Lewis wasn't a fit for Kelly's system, and the Eagles have tried to shop him before. In the end, as the SidelineView.com's Adam Caplan suggests, "Lewis is essentially a change of pace RB. Was not going to make the Eagles roster, so they got what they could for him."
