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. |

The only way I would trade for Freeman would be with trash KC players or if they threw in some Washington level compensation so we could then trade multiple firsts to move up next year to get our QBotF.
Anything less and its a hysterical laugh and a click. |

*sigh*
Why can't we just settle for a QB with our top pick of the draft? After all these years with retreads? Retreads & "True Fans" This is why we can't have nice things. Like playoff wins and Super Bowls.

There pretty much has to be something wrong with Freeman's attitude or some intangible. Maybe he can't learn a full playbook ... maybe he refuses to change some of his mechanics etc.
Young,talented QB's are too hard to find Tampa Bay wouldn't be giving up on him unless there is something they see on a daily basis that other teams wouldn't know about yet.

Trading for Freeman means Freeman is the guy. We'll take the other option later, ala Seattle. |

The Chiefs decide that they like Tyler Wilson over all the other QB's so they use Freeman to trade down and get 2 QB's in the 1st round. Josh Freeman Tyler Wilson Ricky Stanzi Beats the hell out of Cassel,Quinn,Stanzi still the problem of a new contract for Josh Freeman though, you basically have to commit to Freeman with a new contract which screws up the Tyler wilson pick.

But the above is all true. The only exception I could see is if a new GM would come to Carolina and see Cam as some sort of toxin, in which case I'd be more than willing to go pick up their "trash." |
