Freeman was released by the Saints on Tuesday, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeman signed in late July and never had much shot at a roster spot without an injury occurring in front of him. The bigger question in New Orleans is how things shake out between Latavius Murray and Tony Jones, who are both competing for backup work behind Alvin Kamara. There have been rumors Murray will be released, but the Saints could also just keep both him and Jones. Meanwhile, Freeman could attract interest from a desperate team at some point this season, but it's also possible he's taken his last carry in the NFL.
