The Facts: As Freeman waits for the kind of contract that simply won't be available to a 28-year-old running back who has missed 16 games over the past two seasons due to injury and who hasn't had a 1,000-yard season since 2016, there have been reports and rumors that he'll take a year off from the game or possibly even retire. On Monday evening, Freeman tweeted a special, heartfelt Memorial Day message: "I got 10 more years in me. Kill that fake retirement sh-t!! & Btw F all y'all!"

Diehards Line:As PFT notes, Freeman deleted the message, but likely not because he changed his mind about playing 10 more years. Instead, he probably realized the message was a little over the top. That said, nothing has changed here and the market doesn't match Freeman's expectations, or the kind of money to which he's become accustomed. Not many running backs make big money anymore; Freeman's best option at this point is to take the best deal he can find, become part of a rotation, and hope to extend his career by not being overused. We'll be watching to see if that's something he ultimately comes to grips with this summer.
