Eagles considering him too.

He might retire if he doesn't get a contract he likes. I don't think it actually happens, but I also highly doubt he's going to the kind of offer he's probably looking for.

I could see him pulling a Megatron. He's made his money, if he doesn't get the money he wants to throw his health in the gutter/ team with real championship ability why should he play for less? I hope these guys spend wisely and retire early, you hate to see guys go out there and take a beating just because they would be in a pinch otherwise

Can’t compare this situation to Calvin. He had a contract and chose to walk away. This is more like forced retirement.

he thinks he's more valuable than he really is...he might as well quit if he thinks teams will give him more that what he's been offered. Hey better take that 4M if he still wants to play. Have a good year and he will put himself in position to make more money

Signing a prove-it deal didn't exactly work for Hyde, though I guess a $4 million contract is better than he'd had a chance at last year.

With how many contracts went south this decade, it just kinda seems like teams have wised up to paying RBs after the rookie contract. I don't like it, but it seems like the smart move at this point.

honestly i dont think those guys will get more than 1-2 year deals and it's probably better if they take 1 year deals. you got adrian peterson on a 2 yr 5m contract for WAS. IDK about you but id take him over both those guys just on talent. Freeman better take that 4M if he still plans on playing football.

Freeman better take that 4M if he still plans on playing football.

Sadly, yup

Supposedly TB + PHI may be the only offers out there on Freeman, per one of Philly's writers. Grumblings that Philly could want McCoy back.

Wouldn't be the most ideal thing for Vaughn owners who may have spent a premium pick.

serves them right!

[lukkynumber13]

Ideal landing spots for Freeman would seem to be:

San Fran (this is the golden ticket IMO, reunited with Shanny, competition being Mostert, McKinnon, and Coleman isn't too scary) - he could be a strong RB2 there even with just 12-14 touches/game.

Philly would be my 2nd favorite spot - be the veteran Robin to Sanders' Batman.

Carolina hasn't been talked about, but they seem to be the 3rd team that could have touches up for grabs, assuming they won't continue to feed CMC 28 touches every week.

can't see the niners paying north of 4 million for a RB, they're pretty deep already, and any old JAG can do well there.

[ericanadian]

I actually like Tampa as a spot for Freeman. His pass protection would be a solid addition and I could see him connecting with Brady. Not sure he’ll be all that effective as a rusher, but this is about as good as it gets outside of an outside zone scheme.

100% agree. There's no way he's going to SF. Why would they even want him anyway?

[tackling dummies]

TB picked Ke’Shawn Vaughn at 76, the last thing I'd want to do is pull PT/snaps away from here for Freeman.
