The Atlanta Falcons reportedly decided to move on without running back Devonta Freeman.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the team will release the veteran while saving $3 million against the salary cap.
Rapoport foreshadowed this move on Feb. 12, noting that the Falcons would save about $3 million in salary cap by releasing Freeman:
Rapoport had reported last October that the Detroit Lions "heavily discussed" a trade for Freeman with Atlanta prior to last season's deadline, but the Falcons did not want to move on from their 2014 fourth-round pick at that time.
