[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 516441, member: 5535"] I agree with some of the opinions stated here, and Flynn would probably be a better fit than Freeman for us, but IMO Freeman is taking a bad rap somewhat unfairly. - Latest is that Freeman did not intentionally skip the team meetings. He was told not to attend by the coaches, read: Schiano. - Freeman has not been a head-case for his first 3 seasons. He was a quiet performer before this whole thing blew up. That's not to say he didn't have some issues, but I don't see where he showed any indications it as the starter for TB. - We don't know what went on in the TB organization, but it sure looks to me like Freeman was railroaded out of town. That's not against the law or anything. They can cut anyone they want, but laying it all on Freeman's doorstep to make him look like a crybaby seems like blaming the victim (except he's not a victim). - All told, I'd rather have Flynn than Freeman, but there's nothing to say that picking up Freeman is a bad idea. The guy's got talent, it would just be a question of whether or not he would accept his role as a back-up. Flynn is a known quantity and his attitude is good. I agree, however, that bringing Freeman in mid-season is not an ideal situation. And besides, just to counter the points i've made, Freeman may be pretty sore about being benched then let go to be a decent back up right now. His head may be in the wrong place and it may take a season of cooling down for him to have the right attitude. [/QUOTE]
