Freeman was a surprise cut by the Broncos, and the Panthers officially claimed him off waivers on Thursday. The landing spot definitely makes sense, with the Panthers lacking quality reserve options behind Christian McCaffrey. Chuba Hubbard was the only other option behind McCaffrey on the depth chart, so adding Freeman gives the team another body at the position.
Freeman was selected in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and he was once considered the future of the Broncos’ backfield. However, he was outplayed by Phillip Lindsay — an undrafted rookie in 2018 — and found himself further down the depth chart after the Broncos signed Melvin Gordon.
