Much ado about nothing.

That’s the status of the absurd trade talk surrounding Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman.

Despite the ominous social media stylings of Uncle Luke, neither Freeman nor his agent have asked for a trade and Atlanta is completely disinclined to explore one.

When asked by D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about the rumor, general manager Thomas Dimitroff was unequivocal:

“(That’s) ridiculous, asserting that we would trade Freeman,” Falcons general manger Thomas Dimtroff told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.”

Ledbetter also heard from Freeman’s agent, Luther’s wife Kristen. She says Luther does not speak for her or Freeman:

“You have to ask him about what he tweets,” Campbell said. “I don’t even follow him on social media. I would suggest going to the source because I have not tweeted about anything on or social media about anything… .nor do I plan to say anything.”

Campbell also confirmed that she has not asked for a trade.

The Falcons have been relatively quiet in free agency and seem intent on paying their own guys this offseason. Whether they will have enough to give Freeman the extension he wants remains to be seen. One thing is for sure: a trade is off the table.
