NFL Trade Rumors
The Chicago Bears announced they signed RB Royce Freeman to a contract and placed RB Deion Hankins on injured reserve in a corresponding roster move, per Kevin Fishbain.
Chicago brought Freeman in for a workout yesterday and was impressed enough to quickly get a deal done.
Freeman, 29, is a former third-round pick of the Broncos out of Oregon back in 2018. He was in the final year of his four-year, $3,457,020 contract that included a $997,020 signing bonus when the Broncos waived him coming out of the preseason.
Freeman was claimed off waivers by the Panthers. Carolina cut him loose later in the season and he was claimed by the Texans.
From there, Freeman joined the Rams in 2023 before signing a one-year contract with the Cowboys. He was released at the start of the season and had a stint with the Browns.
In 2023, Freeman appeared in 14 games for the Rams and recorded 77 rushing attempts for 319 yards (4.1 YPC) and two touchdowns.
