Always liked him, not giving him the ball enough in the 2016 SB cost the Falcons the lombardi trophy.
I say sign him if the price is right, don't think he can be a 300 carry bell cow but having a more veteran early down back who's a good influence in the locker room isn't a bad thing.
Falcons running game went down hill when Kyle Shanahan left for the niners job. in 2017 didn't have as many touches rushing the ball as his two probowl years in 2015 and 2016 with Shanahan. Then he got hurt in 2018. Did have success in the passing game in 2019, but again less touches rushing the ball.
Freeman would be s good stop-gap.
Was wondering when this would happen...

I am surprised he is visiting since he turned down an offer from the seahawks I believe. Now he is visiting the Jags.
Him and Thompson would make a great rotation
Would be a good fit in Gruden’s system and maybe our best nací in pass pro.
On a 1 or 2 year deal, why not?
He hasn't looked good in 3 years. He doesn't run with the same urgency, especially after the injury. At this point, I don't think he's any better than what we have.
I thought we didn't need help, we had guys performing better than Fournette

Anyway, it seems like Freeman sucks now, I don't think he is nowhere near the player he once was.
We can’t go into week 1 with no legit RB1. Sign him
Makes sense.
Hope they add him.
Great pass catcher and that'll work with Gruden.

They just say anything

This. The proof is in the pudding with the teams not being willing to pay what he wants. They have the game tap.
I'm excited to see what Zig, Armstead, and Robinson can do. I think at least one of them will be equal to or better than Fournette, minus the baggage and hefty price tag. Fournette has the Tarzan measurables, but he plays mostly like Jane. Robinson was a bell cow in college. Zig has shown some potential, too. Not sure about Armstead - just not enough game reps.
Hopefully he has more left in the tank than Jamaal Charles did.
Well, this has gone rather quiet. Can't see it happening if it hasn't by now..
I feel like it's probably a similar situation to fournette, in that Freeman wants to be the man at RB, whereas the jags seem committed to using multiple guys. Freeman will likely wait for an opportunity to open up where he can be the guy. If that chance ever comes for him...
I"m kind of anxious to see what our young guys do....
