"Obviously, any time you're going to sign with the team, you play out every scenario in your head," Freeman said. "What really sold me on the Giants was being part of a quality organization with a great head coach. Taking a year to step back and really learn and get better. It's been frustrating. It's definitely had its dark points. It's adversity. It gives me an opportunity to challenge myself in a situation I couldn't see myself being in prior to being in it. I think I'll be a better player for it. What can you do next time to make sure, beyond the shadow of a doubt, it won't happen again?"
