Giants agreed to terms with RB Devonta Freeman, formerly of the Falcons.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that, provided Freeman passes his COVID-19 test and physical, he will be a Giant. Playing tough to get all offseason after being released by the Falcons, 28-year-old Freeman has finally found the right opportunity. Conditioning will be an issue early on, but he should immediately jump to the front of the line in the Giants' committee. Dion Lewis will be the No. 2, with Wayne Gallman being an afterthought. Lewis is probably still the preferred Week 3 play, with Freeman taking over afterward. A three-down player, Freeman provided consistently diminishing returns as injuries seemed to take their toll in Atlanta. It would not be surprising if he maxed out as more of a FLEX than RB2 in New York, especially considering how bad most Giants game scripts will be.
