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'm obviously implying that the Bucs might take less than #1. If they want the #1 overall pick, even if it means swapping down to the middle of the round, then F them.

He's not going to do the most popular thing because it's popular to the fanbase (see Ricky Williams overload in Phillyland in 99). If Reid pulls this trade off, are you really gonna be pissed off because he doesn't draft Mr. Stare-down? |

Some of you blooming idiots on here have earned your certified ****ing idiots certificates if you want Freeman for 2 1st.
Freeman has issues, reason TB wants to break free of him. He was over rated coming out of college.

Yeah, I'd be a little pissed, cause Geno is a superior prospect to Freeman, who is still having the same problems now he had a KSU and is older. |

I'm a Freeman fan, but to be clear... i am NOT in favor of anything close to first round picks.

This is not saying Freeman is going to be unsigned. They are simply not giving him an extension this offseason (see: Sanchez, Mark). If he plays good next year, they will franchise him or work out a long-term extension. If he plays poorly, he walks.

This is saying
"We aren't sold on him right now, will listen to someone who calls, and will evaluate him this year if there isn't a good deal on the table". |
