The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Freeman says his failure to reach the post-season is more disappointing than the Bucs' decision not to offer him a contract extension heading into the final year of his rookie deal. Freeman, 25, spoke for the first time Tuesday since a disappointing 7-9 season in 2012 in which he threw a club record 27 touchdowns but had 17 interceptions. "It bothers me a lot, knowing the type of team we have and our capabilities, being close but not quite getting there,' Freeman said.

Freeman added: "The only reason you play this game is you want to go out and win. You want to win championships and you want to walk away and have a handful of rings. That's why you play the game. The drive is there, the intensity is there. We've just got to find a way to put it all together. ...' Freeman is in the fifth and final year of his rookie contract and coach Greg Schiano has said he is 'not married,' to his starting quarterback. Schiano also indicated after the season he wanted to bring in some competition for Freeman, but so far the Bucs have only signed Dan Orlovsky to a restructured contract. Freeman insists he has a good relationship with Schiano and hasn't paid much attention to comments directed at him by the head coach. "Me and coach, we've got a great relationship," Freeman insisted. And that might indeed be the case. But that doesn't mean Schiano is sold on Freeman as his QB of the future.
