Free-agent running back Devonta Freeman has hired Drew Rosenhaus to represent him and lead his search for a job before the season.

"We want to work out a deal in the immediate future, and we are open to any team," the famed agent told ESPN's Adam Schefter. "He's healthy, he's in shape, and I'm on a mission to have him give a team a lift in late July."

The Atlanta Falcons cut Freeman in March after he averaged a career-low 3.6 yards per carry in 2019. The Seattle Seahawks showed interest in the 28-year-old in May, but he reportedly rejected their offer. The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets were linked to Freeman around the same time.

In 77 career games with the Falcons, Freeman rushed for 32 touchdowns and produced 4.2 yards per carry. He posted back-to-back 1,000-plus-yard campaigns on the ground (2015 and 2016), peaking at 1,079 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2016 when Atlanta went to the Super Bowl.

Rosenhaus is the NFL's most prominent agent. Since 2004, he's negotiated over 1,000 contracts for a combined total north of $7 billion. His stable of clients includes Rob Gronkowski, T.Y. Hilton, Trent Brown, Darius Slay, Frank Gore, and Kwon Alexander. In the past, he's represented the likes of Terrell Owens, Antonio Brown, Chad Johnson, and Warren Sapp.
