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. |

If anything, this makes it make more sense to draft Geno.

Lots of reasons. If we do trade for Freeman, it says that Reid thinks that Freeman can be just as good in his WCO than any rookie in this class.
Plus you get draft picks with your purchase to help build your team. Josh Freeman would throw 30 or more TD's in Reid's offense. I have no question about it. And his fumbling problems are very coachable. |

Geno doesn't seem to have the problems Freeman does, and his problems seem more easily fixed. So again, why do it? (Hint, just say the answer is you like Freeman more than Geno, it's ok) |

Freeman is very mediocre, #18 on ESPN's total QBR. He's the type of guy I'd pick up to carry us until a rookie QB was ready to take over, he's never going to be a great QB.
I think we need to get 2 QB's anyway, so if we got both Freeman and Geno, fine. If its one or the other, I'd rather have Geno.
