Freeman: Would you?

Freeman has been cut. He is collecting his full $8 million salary from Tampa. I would absolutely acquire him for no cost and limited salary so we get a 3 month in house audition (and legitimate alternative to Schaub).

So, does Freeman need to clear waivers and then he can negotiate where he prefers? Could be interesting.

No, players with four or more seasons dont go through waivers. He's in his fourth year.

IIRC, he's in his fifth year. If the Texans sign him, though, it will be as much as admitting Schaub's days here are numbered. Instant QB controversy. It would have been better for Rick Smith if this had waited until February.

Perhaps a few other teams, like Jacksonville, will over pay for Freeman at this time?

With $8 million from Tampa I'd be shocked if he makes the decision based on finances.

Agree with this. He's going to make his decision on PT. Cleveland lost Hoyer tonight, Manuel went down tonight, etc, etc. He's not going to get PT here coming in around Week 6/7, learning a new system, and be productive. Hell, he hasn't been productive in the last two seasons.....

If Schaub gets benched/injured, TJ will get the call, and if it gets really bad, we'll likely see what Shortie can do.....

Freeman's not coming here, and I'm OK with that.
