NFL Writer Mike Freeman is Leaving Bleacher Report

Mike Freeman is leaving Bleacher Report, sources tell Outkick the Coverage.

A Bleacher Report spokesperson declined to comment on the news.

Freeman, a traditional NFL columnist, didn't fit the direction of the site, sources say. While Bleacher Report still features long-form content, it has evolved into a multi-media site.

Freeman joined Bleacher Report in 2013.

Update: Freeman announced the move Monday afternoon:
