There's always the CFL!

he'll be on an nfl team. green bay needs a legit back up. jacksonville needs a starter. he'll land somewhere now that it costs the new team nothing other than whatever contact they sign. it's a good day to be josh freeman. he gets paid by tampa bay and his new team.

the guy broke no laws. whatever character issues may be there i'm sure his new team will convince itself they can fix

i have a hard time understanding why tampa handled this the way they did. they shot themselves in the head when it came to getting any value for freeman. very strange situation.

The fact that someone in the organization leaked Freeman's voluntary cooperation in the substance abuse program (has a prescription for Adderall) is so far over the line it's hard to fathom.
The team is fuc1<ed. Owners trying to get the NFLPA to buy in on HgH testing, and this comes out? I would not be surprised if the team get fined HUGE.

I'd to know what the odds on whether Schiano is the coach by the next game are.

As a coach, what do you do given this scenario?

Freeman had to go. He was Radio Raheem's guy, for the QB of an NFL team to act the way he has, there are some major problems...not even counting his play on the field. On the field his completion percentage is below 50%. The telling thing in the whole Freeman mess is none of his teammates have said much to defend or stick up for him...especially the WRs on the team.

Bills and Browns in dire need of a QB due to injuries. If Freeman isnt picked up it speaks volumes and tells me there may be off the field issues here.

Oh he'll get picked up. Some team will be intrigued and think they can get him to produce. The Raiders are a likely landing spot for him since he would be reunited with Greg Olson. Maybe the Vikes too

i'd stick with weeden over freeman if i were the browns. I can't imagine they would think differently.

he'll be signed this week. off field issues and all. be patient.

i'd take the high road and release his confidential drug testing results.

there are no hero's in this story. there's just infantile behavior on a scale rarely seen outside the politics forum at p.a.

you have to wonder where the adults are on both sides.

Well, that is certainly one side of the story. I wonder if Roy Cummings even bothered to speak with Freeman - my suspicions are no.

Though in all fairness, Freeman was done with the local media 3 weeks ago and most likely never responded to his request for an interview.

If you look at the numbers he put up when he was playing very well, it seems he is very capable and just needs the right situation...ie..anywhere other than Tampa. I think he'll be starting by end of this year or next for sure.
