Freeman, who has made 60 starts in his somewhat turbulent career, would clearly be able to do that and he could provide some interesting competition for Painter and Nassib over the summer in the battle for the backup quarterback job. He's had a very up-and-down career that hit it's early peak in 2012 when he threw for 4,065 yards and 27 touchdowns. But early last year he lost his starting job in Tampa to Mike Glennon, then clashed with Bucs coach Greg Schiano and the Bucs organization and was eventually released in early October.
