The past few weeks have been a roller-coaster ride for Josh Freeman. Freeman went from being the Buccaneers starting QB to inactive then released within 2 weeks. The breakup with the Bucs seemed to be very nasty, they leaked confidential information and personal emails. Even with today’s state of social media I’ve never seen a team go this low to black ball a player they once drafted to be their franchise QB, I know this regime wasn’t the ones to draft him but still.
I talked about Freeman seeming not to be able to get right a few weeks ago but on Sunday he signed a one year deal worth 3 million dollars to play the rest of the season with the Minnesota Vikings. Hopefully this will be the change of scenery that Freeman needs to get his career back on track.
In Minnesota Freeman will have to battle Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel for playing time but with the deal that Freeman received he makes more coin than both of them so that should mean soon as he gets the playbook down he will be under center for the purple people.
Let’s see if it’s Schiano’s fault for the regression of Freeman or if it’s just Freeman not progressing either way he has a shot, sometimes that’s all people ask for or need.
