Devonta Freeman willing to sit out 2020

The NFL may not Terrance Mitchell Jersey see on the field in 2020. The veteran running back was released by the at the beginning of free agency after six seasons with the club, and has yet to sign on with another team. Freeman has seen interest from more than one team though, most notably the , who have — formerly of the — when Freeman waved off their contract offer. It’s now being reported that Freeman he’s demanding be met, and he’s willing to skip the upcoming season altogether if it’s not met, per Mike Silver of Network.Silver reports the offer from the Seahawks to Freeman was for one year worth $4 million and, if accurate, that gives any team interested in Freeman a floor to work upwards from. It wouldn’t be the first time the league Joel Bitonio Jersey saw a halfback forego a season for contract reasons, and while situation was vastly different, Freeman also appears to feel he’s financially comfortable enough to hold his ground and wait for the deal that matches the value he believes he offers a team.Additionally, at age 28, he still presumably has years left on his tires.To Freeman’s JC Tretter Jersey credit, although Hyde has proven he can be a starter in the league, he’s never garnered a Pro Bowl nod and has only one 1,000-yard season in his career. Freeman has two Pro Bowl nods and two 1,000-yard seasons on his resume, and was a premier back before injuries began to crop up. An added threat as a receiver out Ozzie Newsome Jersey of the backfield, Freeman once logged 1,634 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns (2015) and has seen his yards from scrimmage tally dip below the 1,000-yard mark only twice in his six NFL seasons. One of those years was 2018, when he mi sed 14 games due to injury, and the other was his rookie year in 2014.Freeman’s dip in recent production led the Falcons to part ways with him le s than three years after signing him to a five-year, $41.25 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid running back in the league at the time. All told, this is likely why Freeman is standing firm on whatever his ask is, but time isn’t in his Austin Seibert Jersey favor. With free agency and the 2020 both in the rear view, most RB-needy teams have solved their i sue at that position. For those who haven’t, Freeman remains a viable and talented option, but they’ll have to ante up if they want him in their uniform.
