When the Dolphins cut quarterback Josh Freeman for a second time this offseason, Freeman said that he would “exhaust every option” available to continue his professional football career.

That effort will involve a stay in the Fall Experimental Football League, which is preparing for its second season. The league announced Tuesday that the former first-round pick will play for its Brooklyn franchise during the 2015 season.

Freeman’s career went into freefall after he spent the first four years of his career as the starting quarterback with the Buccaneers. His second season in 2010 showed a lot of promise, but Freeman couldn’t build on it and lost his job in Tampa a few games into the 2013 season. He made one disastrous start for the Vikings later in the year and hasn’t played in a regular season game since then.

The trip to the FXFL will offer him a chance to play and that could attract the attention of scouts if he plays well, but the prospect of an NFL future feels unlikely given how little interest he generated the last two years in a league that’s always looking for quarterbacks.
