Bucs not planning to extend Josh Freeman
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...mans-contract/
According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, the Bucs won’t be extending Freeman’s contract, which expires after the 2013 season. And as Stroud explains it, the decision not to sign Freeman to a new deal could be part of a plan by coach Greg Schiano, who inherited Freeman, to get his own quarterback. And Freeman may change Schiano’s mind only by playing so well this season that Freeman leaves the Bucs with no other option than to use the franchise tag or sign him to a long-term deal. One possibility would be to apply the non-exclusive tag and to see if anyone is willing to sign Freeman to an offer sheet and give up a pair of first-round picks. That would enable the Bucs to pull a reverse Keyshawn, giving up a player and getting two first-round picks 14 years after they gave up two first-round picks to get Keyshawn Johnson from the Jets. The Bucs likely would settle for less, since the alternative will be to let Freeman walk away. |

I'd swap sixth round picks for Freeman.
He's damaged goods now. Tampa won't likely get dick for him. |

Yeah I agree. The debate continues about your second sentence and who is or isn't, but I fully agree with you. I don't think Reid/Dorsey/Clark are afraid. If they see a guy they want, I don't see anything standing in the way of them taking him.

He might not be a bad guy to bring in as a back-up while you groom the young pup. KC kid that does have some talent but apparently isn't going to be anything grand. Maybe Reid can get something out of him? Possible good insurance guy to have?
Still the Chiefs need to take the best QB at the top of the draft regardless if you brought in someone like Freeman or not! |

Don't get me wrong...I don't know enough about GS to form an opinion other than from what I've read so far. From what I see he's gonna have to have one hell of a combine to be the first pick of the draft.

I think Freeman can be good.....he's had dogshit of a coaching staff since he's been there IMO.

I'll say it again. Reid will take the best O-line or D-linemen in the draft if he picks at 1. He will probably feel like he can get a developmental QB later in the draft to groom. Reid will have major influence on who the GM brings in as he always has.

I was just responding to the idea of trading the #1 pick for Freeman and the #13 pick. That would be the same exact bullshit that has kept this team from getting a franchise QB for the last 30 ****ing years. I'll take any of the top 3. Trading for someones backup/should be backup is not an option for me. Last edited by jd1020; 01-15-2013 at 10:17 AM.. |
