Josh Freeman began looking for employment Friday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced the release of their former starting quarterback.
Teams thus far have expressed no interest on a player who was praised for his immense talent after a strong rookie season in 2010.
In a stunning plunge, Freeman lost his job under coach Greg Schiano. Disclosure that Freeman is in an NFL program and has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder doesn't help his status.
GM Mark Dominik tried to trade Freeman, but every team in the league said no to his overtures.
"We made the decision today to release Josh Freeman," Dominik said in Friday's statement. "We appreciate his efforts over the past five seasons, but we felt this was in the best interests of both Josh and the Buccaneers."
Freeman, 25, is free to sign with any team. At the same time, he will receive the remainder of his $6.25 million salary for this season.
Schiano turned away from Freeman last season, and the team looked at veteran trade or free-agent offerings after drafting Mike Glennon from North Carolina State.
Glennon now starts for the Bucs, whose season is now a rebuilding in progress. The team had a bye for NFL Week 5 after its 0-4 start.
Potential new employers? The Buffalo Bills are desperate for a temporary fix with EJ Manuel nursing a knee injury. However, NFL.com suggests the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders as possible suitors.
