Falcons GM: we are 'not considering trading' RB Tevin Coleman

Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the team has no plans to trade backup running back Tevin Coleman despite signing starter Devonta Freeman to a lucrative deal back in August.

Dimitroff, speaking to Rick Kamla and John Michaels of 92.9 The Game radio, was asked if trading Coleman with one year left on his contract could be an option heading into the 2018 season.

``We are not considering trading Tevin Coleman, period,'' Dimitroff told Kamla. ``He's an important part of this organization. And our focus is on this upcoming year, and trade is not in our thought process.
