K D Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I heard Vikes had pulled out of talks. I'd be surprised at this point if it was them Edit: wow I guess it's a done deal. Guess you can't believe all of those "inside sources" on twitter Edited October 7, 2013 by kdiggz
26CornerBlitz Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 @RapSheet Josh Freeman's agent. He picks the Vikings RT @ErikBurkhardt: Vikings!!!
Justice Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Schefter announced it too. It must be true. Screw em. He sucks anyways.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 @RapSheet It's a one-year deal for Josh Freeman and the Vikings, per source.
Big C Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Weird choice. Vikings must be about ready to give up on Ponder.
Boatdrinks Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Too little too late for the Bills FO. Should have traded a 7th last week. This season is now officially over. Their late push for Freeman shows they know it too. Whaley and Co. screwed the pooch with no viable backup. We won't win another game until EJ returns, whenever that may be.

Lol it was Josh's decision had nothing to do with the Bills. TBH I doubt he really even considered to come here. He knows EJ will be back at some point and he is a rookie, Ponder has already proven he isn't the answer.
jahnyc Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 He was the only one of the available QBs who would have been a potential upgrade. Too bad. Tuel/White will be a disaster.
QB Bills Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Bills should try to trade for Matt Cassel now. They obviously won't. But they will trade Byrd for a late round pick. sigh...

We should have traded for him when EJ was healthy? Yeah, that makes sense
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Weird choice. Vikings must be about ready to give up on Ponder. I'd take Ponder off their hands, he'd make a good back up.
....lybob Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 What the Bills should do is suck mightily and hope for Clowney or a top QB they can leverage into a bunch of picks
biggerdaddynj Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Freeman signing with the Bills never made sense (as many indicated)--he wants to go somewhere he can start for more than a few games and we're committed to EJ so that was never happening. Not sure why anyone really thought it was more than a (crack) pipe dream. The Vikes have obviously given up on Ponder. Pat White it is (scary, huh?). FO hits on last year's draft but f'ed up big time by not getting a serviceable, experienced backup when Kolb was lost--tough lesson to learn! Edited October 7, 2013 by biggerdaddynj
Boatdrinks Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 We should have traded for him when EJ was healthy? Yeah, that makes sense Yes, as starting QB's get injured. Most don't make it through a full sixteen games. It's not exactly like we had a viable backup on the bench in case EJ was hurt. Now we're paying the price for being unprepared. Freeman was available for a late pick according to John Clayton.

Big picture.... He was available for late pick, indeed.... But he was also due more than he is worth.... No team was winning to pay his contract.... Buffalo was honestly the best place for him if he wanted to start and try to repair his image....
