Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman is a stage one participant in the National Football League’s drug program, but he is not one strike away from a suspension despite being subject to random testing, according to league and player sources with knowledge of his status. Freeman has obtained a temporary use exemption for a prescription drug that normally would be on the banned list, the sources said Monday, Sept. 30.
Footballguys View: Freeman fell out of favor with the franchise for more than his play on the field. The Bucs would trade him away if they can find any taker. That may prove to be difficult given his salary and off field issue.
