Josh Freeman
There may not have been a quarterback take a quicker nosedive into oblivion than Freeman, 26. After a breakout second season with the Buccaneers in 2010, when he threw 25 touchdown passes to just six interceptions, it’s been a struggle. Last season, he was benched in Tampa Bay after three starts, a 45.7 completion percentage, three interceptions and two touchdowns.
He was released and signed by the Vikings, where he immediately came in and made one memorable (as in memorably bad) start on a Monday night in a loss to the Giants where he was 20-for-53 for 190 yards and a pick six. His combined passer rating was a dismal 52.6 and his Total QBR of 18.9 would have been the lowest in the league had he played enough to qualify.
Freeman was the 17th overall pick by the Bucs in 2009 out of Kansas State.
