Well that didn’t take long. QB Josh Freeman was released by the Bucs last week and he’s already found a new home — the Minnesota Vikings. Details after the jump…
Via ESPN:
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman is signing with the Vikings.
Freeman’s agent, Erik Burkhardt, made a one-word announcement on Twitter before confirming his client’s decision to The Associated Press (tweet above in gallery).
The Vikings gave Freeman a one-year deal worth about $3 million, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
All totaled, Freeman will make more than $11.4 million until he becomes a free agent this winter, factoring in the $2.479 million the Bucs paid him at the start of the season, the $5.9 million in termination pay from the team, and his new deal with Minnesota.
Freeman also had been linked to the Bills and Raiders since being released by the Bucs on Thursday after a tumultuous season for the quarterback and the team that made him the 17th overall pick in the 2009 draft.
