Although he is not one of the NFL head coaches who have embraced the ?one voice? stance, and precluded his assistants from speaking to the media during the season, Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis apparently feels his team had one voice too many in its season-ending playoff loss, ESPN.com reported. Appearing at the NFL Scouting Combine, Lewis vowed to release the player who leaked to the media reports of an explosion by star wide receiver Chad Johnson at halftime of the Jan. 8 wild-card playoff game against Pittsburgh. ?Unfortunately, we had somebody else who was more selfish than Chad,? Lewis said. ?That person won't be with us next year, I'll tell you that.? So far, no one has identified the source of the story. It could be a difficult move, too, if the player is a starter, as some Cincinnati veterans have hinted.

Coach Marvin Lewis has received his reward for taking the Cincinnati Bengals to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years. The team signed Lewis on Thursday to a two-year contract extension through 2010. Financial terms were not disclosed. ?My family and I are both flattered and thrilled by the support of (president) Mike Brown and the Bengals organization,? said Lewis, who had three years left on his contract before signing the extension. ?Our coaches are excited, but certainly not yet satisfied, about our team and the progress we?ve made to date.? The Bengals also announced on Friday that all of their assistants have been signed through 2007.
