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. |

It expires after 2013, not 2012. He won't be a FA this offseason. People need to stop acting like he's an option this off-season. He won't be. A lot of people aren't talking about him in trade manner. You don't 'bring him in for a look' when you trade for a guy. That's FA talk. |

The last time this team had a high 2nd round pick, it was traded for Matt Cassel.
Maybe the team could trade Cassel to Tampa for Freeman? Throw in Quinn? Keep the picks, no thanks for trading them away again. |

The only thing not an opinion in this article is the leak that the Buccs aren't going to extend Freeman. No one has said "bring him in for a look" until you just said it right there. "Reading is fundamental." Last edited by jd1020; 01-07-2013 at 09:35 AM.. |

There is no way you guys can get Freeman this year without giving up a pick or picks. The Chiefs cannot afford to throw away any picks right now.

I wouldn't trade for him at all.
Period. As a FA I'd consider bringing him in just like we did Brady (bye.)
