Former Bengals coach Marvin Lewis is under consideration for several head coaching opportunities in the NFL for 2021, league sources said.

Lewis reached the playoffs five straight years with the Bengals — something unheard of for that franchise — and has spent the past two years on the Arizona State staff, but remains open to a return to the NFL in the right spot. Lewis was among the longest-tenured coaches in the NFL at the time he left the Bengals after the 2018 season, is very well respected around the league and is a former member of the league’s competition committee.
