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. |

Yep. And who trusts that he doesn't turn into a drama queen because he can't beat the QBOTF out of a starting position as a 24 yr old as he sits on the bench in HIS HOMETOWN ?

I would love to see what Freeman could do under the right circumstances.
He had Ron Prince for a HC in College. I am not sure Raheem Morris and Greg Schiano (sp?) were as qualified as Reid to get him playing up to his potential. He has the body and the skills much superior to anyone the team has had on the roster for quite some time. This in no way should prohibit the team from drafting a QB in round one (the only option that will make me happy), but I would much prefer to have Freeman on the roster than Quinn or Cassel or about any other brokedick recycle that will be available. |

one man's trash, yadda yadda.... still fresh starts for all = winning. worst case we get an upgrade at qb for the scout team, or likely just a viable back up option to our rookie draft pick. but extreme optimistic possibilities exist also.

Freeman isn't coming here to be a backup. We sign Freeman.....there is no 1st round QB.

I'm not sure who Josh Freeman is, but he's no Cassel. The guy had a breakout season with 4,000 yards and 27 TD, and a huge improvement over what he did in 2011.
Trying to win games with the 29th ranked defense on your back is no easy task.

As far as I know, is Drew Brees the only case of a team trading for a STARTING QB and winning a Super Bowl?
That is, the QB's previous team, for whatever reason, decided they didn't want him anymore and traded him away. The guy started with another team and that team won the Super Bowl? |

No. No, no, no.
I don't want to even discuss any other QB's. Draft your QB, develop him. You likely won't get this chance again any time soon. |

The Bucs had 4 losses where their defense gave up at least 31 points.
That said, Freeman needs to win these late season games against Philly, New Orleans and St. Louis. I'm not sure what happened to that team because they looked really, really good about week 10.

If he didn't get injured he would likely have never been traded. He wasn't a trash trade, in the sense that he sucked. |
