The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Given his overall inconsistency, it's easy to understand why the Buccaneers have decided to let Freeman play out the final year of his rookie contract rather than hand out an extension. Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer says their choice not to negotiate says nothing about their confidence in the quarterback. "There are options," Glazer said, via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. "You saw with the Ravens, it all worked out for them."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Dan Hanzus explained, from an outsider's perspective, the Buccaneers appear to be at a crossroads with Freeman. The young QB delivered another maddeningly inconsistent season for the Bucs in 2012, throwing for 4,000 yards and 27 touchdowns, but struggling with accuracy (54.8 completion percentage) and ball security (19 turnovers). While it appears the Bucs are taking a wait-and-see approach on the big money, they are clearly all in on Freeman as their starter this year. And if he plays well? We all know
how that worked out for Joe Flacco in Baltimore.
