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. |

Yeah, we make a move on Freeman, it's because Reid wants him as the guy. He's literally the only person out there that wouldn't make me pull my hair out. I should clarify, it's not my choice, it's just an option I wouldn't go crazy over. Matt Flynn, Alex Smith, Mike Vick, those are moves that would make me crazy.

I could get behind Pioli staying in a reduced role because all of the power was going to Reid and you could stick Pioli in his little corner to work the fax machine.
I would be off the wall if this team yet again went the route of trading for another teams trash when they have the #1 pick in the draft. It hasn't worked for 43 ****ing years! |

Freeman is Cassel...
so I can see why Chiefs fans are in love with Freeman... Now they want Vick... JFC, this fanbase is in love with garbage QB's... |

Another thing in Freeman's defense he is on OC 3 in 4 years. Jagodzinski, Olson and Sullivan along with several QB coaches, an average running game until this year, and he lost 2 pro bowl (1 All-pro) OLineman. Plus a terrible defense, I am not ready to completely write him off.

Lots of interesting back channel chatter right now, regarding the Chiefs, Bucs, swapping draft picks, and Josh Freeman |

He has never been in a position 'yet' to see how he would handle this type of adversity either. Just saying. At 25 he can't coach up the QBOTF because he is still getting coached up himself. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an anti-Freeman guy personally, but I'm not crazy about having him either for various reasons.
