I suppose clubs are waiting for the final roster cuts.

not at his age and recent injury issues.All he is right now is a great back-up.

and with 1 year on his contract, wouldn't he need to be picked up at that $2.3MM rate?

the teams that want him are structured to win now and may be tight on cap space.

The Safety Kam Chancellor holding out in Seattle is supposedly the reason for the delay. Cap is tight.

Their backup RB is hurt and the 3rd RB had a bad summer.

Excited to see him in Seattle.

Is this really the case? He didn't qualify for waivers, so I would think any team can sign him to any contract, no?

If I were Jerry Jones I'd be dialing Freddie's agent's number right now. All their backs have sucked so far.

Yes of course. His old contract is dead. There is a league minimum for a vet like him, but it is much less than a $1,000,000 per year.

maybe he's had offers but it holding out for more. He knows he's going to get a job so why not wait?

Vet minimum salary for a player with 7-9 years in the league is $870k, but any player with 4 or more years in the league that plays for the vet minimum only has a cap hit of $585k.
