Devonta Freeman Holding Out On 2020 Season For More Money!
Free agent running back Devonta Freeman knows his worth and he’s no longer accept anything less. Read on for more on Devonta Freeman Holding Out…
Freeman believes he is worth more than what was being offered and has insisted he is willing to sit out and skip the season if his number isn’t met. I agree with @caplannfl that he is unlikely to get a better deal than the one he left on the table. https://t.co/SjzQI5U9sX

CelebNSports247.com reports that free agent running back Devonta Freeman was originally headed to the Seattle Seahawks for a one-year contract worth up to $4 million with a base value of less than $3 million.
That has all changed now since Devonta Freeman promptly declined and Seattle gave that deal to RB Carlos Hyde instead.
Michael Silver of NFL Media had this to say about Freeman who has now threatened to sit out the entire 2020 season unless his contract demands are met.
The Eagles and Jets have both been linked to Freeman, but the Jets signed Frank Gore and unless Philly is willing to meet his asking price, he might find himself sitting out until an injury opens up a roster spot somewhere.
The 28-year-old played in 14 games in 2019 and rushed for 656 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 59 receptions for 410 yards receiving and four touchdowns.
