Devonta Freeman's plan: Stay with Falcons, pay for sisters' college

Devonta Freeman doesn’t want to get caught up in a contract dispute. He just wants to take care of his family.

When the Atlanta Falcons running back was asked about his mentor, Luther Campbell, nudging the Falcons on Twitter last week and implying that Freeman would need to be traded to get the payday he deserves -- Campbell was reacting to cornerback Desmond Trufant being on the verge of a lucrative deal and backup quarterback Matt Schaub receiving a two-year, $9 million extension -- Freeman just brushed it off.
