The New York Giants and free-agent running back Devonta Freeman have agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"Devonta turned down more money from other teams because he likes the opportunity with the Giants best," Drew Rosenhaus, Freeman's agent, told Schefter.
The Giants lost franchise star and running back Saquon Barkley for the season to a torn right ACL suffered against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 20. Barkley amassed 3,469 scrimmage yards and 23 touchdowns over his first two years.
Replacing Barkley's production is a near-impossible task, but the Giants were forced to scour the free-agent wire to fill a spot on the depth chart with his season over.
