Mike Silver of NFL Media is reporting that the Falcons and RB Devonta Freeman are negotiating a possible five-year extension that would make him one of NFL’s highest-paid running backs.
According to Silver, Freeman has purchased a $10 million insurance policy to protect him in the event he and Falcons don’t agree to on a long-term extension before the start of the season. Silver adds that the insurance policy cost Freeman approximately $50,000.
Freeman spoke with team owner Arthur Blank following the second day of training camp on Friday.
