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. |

But lets ignore all of that, and the fact that he was completely awful in the 2nd half of the season. |

You guys are right. We should draft Mr. Stare-down #1 overall.
Reid knows this QB class isn't special. He's not stupid. You could hear it in his voice. "Just because you have the first pick doesn't mean you have to force the pick." |

Maybe the Bucs GM and HC are/is just stupid. We let Carr go, etc.
That said, still would rather draft our own first rounder and Geno. But like Chiefscountry said, if they would give us him, plus their first and a 2, for our 1, it would be somewhat intriguing. Clay, what are your thoughts on this? You have always been a big fan of his. |

I really don't know personally I wouldn't go for Freeman. I want a QB number 1 overall. but if coach Andy Reid wants Josh Freeman, then I bet Josh Freeman is going to be a very serviceable quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs if not more than that.

Look it up. He's right. Favre had just turned 90.

If Freeman comes here, you ask yourself one question:
Who's smarter, the braintrust of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or Andy Reid?

Schiano is close to Pioli, so he might have a similiar attitude that he can only win with his guys?

Oh...You mean after he was asked how he would get a franchise QB and he answered "We've been blessed with the number 1 pick" ?

People need to remember that when Reid drafted McNabb, he was a very raw talent who didn't have the best completion percentage.
Look at what Reid did with him. |
