Freeman is reportedly taking his time to decide on a 1-year offer from the Seattle Seahawks according to Silver, but “has also attracted interest from the Jets and Eagles”.

The Jets currently have Le’Veon Bell and Frank Gore under contract to go along with rookie running back La’Mical Perine.

Freeman had his worst season as a pro in 2019 when he averaged just 3.6 yards per carry, but had never averaged less than 4.4 yards per carry over his previous 3 seasons.
