While the uncertain futures of quarterbacks , , and have dominated the offseason headlines, there is another storyline worth tracking ahead of the start of the 2020 free agent period.On Wednesday, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported St. Louis Cardinals Jersey the are "weighing their options" when it comes to the future of running back , who has three years remaining on a five-year, $41.25 million extension he signed with the Falcons just before the start of the 2017 season. Freeman, who will celebrate his 28th birthday next month, averaged just 3.6 yards per carry last season with the Falcons, a year after he mi sed 14 games due to injury."It sounds like it's pretty much up in the air in Atlanta, and would certainly be an option for the Atlanta Falcons to release him," said Raopoport, who added that the Falcons looked into trading Freeman before last year's deadline. Rapoport added that the Falcons may look into trading Freeman once the league's new year begins on Mar. 18 if there is potential for a deal -- although his bloated salary cap number might make any potential deal unlikely. He noted the were among the teams that were interested in trading for Freeman before last year's deadline. "It is something that the Atlanta Falcons are weighing right now," Rapoport said with regard to the Falcons po sibly parting with Freeman, a two-time Pro Bowler who was one of the driving forces behind the team's 2016 run. A fourth Paul DeJong Jersey round pick in the 2014 , Freeman became a starter in 2015, earning his first of two consecutive Pro Bowl selections that season. Along with receiver and quarterback , Freeman was part of one of the NFL's best offensive trios, as the Falcons won 24 games during a two-year span that included three postseason victories and an NFC championship. Freeman and the Falcons have taken considerable steps backwards since the team's second half collapse against the in Super Bowl LI. After a dip in production in 2017, Freeman failed to return to form last season following an injury-marred 2018 season, rushing for just 656 yards and two touchdowns as the Falcons mi sed the playoffs for a second straight season. Freeman did manage to contribute a pa s catcher, catching 59 of 70 targets for 410 yards and four touchdowns. Along with his recent injuries and drop in production, Freeman's price tag Carlos Martinez Jersey is most likely another reason why the Falcons are reportedly considering parting ways with him. If the Falcons do part with Freeman this offseason, they would on this year's salary cap, according to The Athletic's Jason Butt. And while the Falcons' current cap space is around $6.1 million ( ), the Falcons will surely want more cap space in order to add pieces to their roster via free agency. Speaking of free agency, the Falcons may choose to go that route to find Freeman Michael Wacha Jersey 's replacement if they do decide to go in that direction. One free agent option could be , who is slated to become a free agent after being traded from Miami to Arizona during the 2019 season. Another option could be veteran running back , who proved in Buffalo last season that he can still contribute in a complementary role. In this situation, the Falcons would likely do what Buffalo did and pair Gore with a young running back. Regardle s of what happens in free agency, the Falcons may still decide to spend one of their 2020 draft Lou Brock Jersey picks on the running back position. While defensive help is atop , don't be surprised if the Falcons spend one of their picks on a running back. Falcons fans should have a better idea at which running backs the teams may be interested in when teams begin meeting with prospects during the upcoming NFL combine in Indianapolis.

The gridiron isn't the only place where gets the best of the opposition. During Monday's pregame show on NBC Boston, former Patriots signal caller told a story about the time that . When it was all said and John Carlson Jersey done, Brady covered Ca sel's car in trash and urinated on his practice jersey.The entire story Ca sel shared is... quite something:"I was coming in and a prank war started where he knocked my trey out of my hand, he put his foot up against the door, I poured some protein shake in his shoes, maybe some flexi-hot into his underwear," Ca sel said. "He dumped a trash can on my car Alex Ovechkin Jersey and then decided to pee on my practice jersey, and then he asked me to forgive him and call him Captain Longshanks."So I was like, 'No I'm not doing that, I'm going to do something even worse to you,' and by the time we came in for practice, I had three tires in front of my locker, the other one was hidden, you know the old 'put in on the blocks,'" he said. "The old adage goes back to don't me s with people that have more money than you do." Dale Hunter Jersey Prank wars are always usually all in good fun and end after a few back-and-forth pranks between the involved parties. However, Brady took it to a whole different level when he took one of Ca sel's tires and wouldn't return it. Brady clearly had no surrender, and it reached the point that head coach Bill Belichick eventually had to intervene."The lineman decided to fill his car up with (foam) peanuts, put confetti in his air conditioning unit, and at that point, Bill had to step Washington Capitals Jersey in and say, 'Look, guys, this isn't World War 4, okay. We can't have you guys going around hurting somebody or killing somebody.'" Ca sel said. Evgeny Kuznetsov Jersey "At the end of the day I did have to go home with my buddy for at least four days before he would give me back my other tire." The fact that Brady kept the tire prank going for multiple days is mind-boggling. It might be crazier than peeing on someone's jersey. Let's just say that the Patriots quarterback isn't exactly someone that should be me sed with and he's always going to get the upper hand.

"All I know is the guy wins football games," Tom Wilson Jersey he told Eisen, adding that he and Shanahan informed Garoppolo of their Brady conversations. "I think his best football is ahead of him ... We're as committed to him as ever."
