Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman said he is more disappointed in not winning than he is in not getting a new contract this offseason. 'It bothers me a lot, knowing the type of team we have and our capabilities, being close but not quite getting there," Freeman said. 'The only reason you play this game is you want to go out and win. You want to win championships and you want to walk away and have a handful of rings. That's why you play the game. The drive is there, the intensity is there. We've just got to find a way to put it all together."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman said he has a good relationship with head coach Greg Schiano, and they spend a lot of time together during the offseason talking about a wide range of things football and life related. 'The entire off-season, I've been in constant communication with coach,'' Freeman said. 'I had a lot of time and sat down and talked with him about a number of things football related, life related. Me and coach, we've got a great relationship. Every now and then, somebody will call you and say, 'Hey man, what's up with you and your coach?' But we know how it is. It's something I'm not really concerned about it. I'm kind of living it and I know how it is.''

Tampa Bay Buccaneers OL Davin Joseph praised QB Josh Freeman as being the right quarterback, but said the team around Freeman has to be better to help Freeman be the right quarterback. 'I'm biased, he's my friend, teammate, he's my quarterback,' Joseph said. 'But the thing that's going to make Josh 'the guy' is his team. His team is going to make him the guy. So it's his defense doing what defense is supposed to do, special teams making plays, offensive line blocking, receivers catching, running backs running. It's everything that's going to make Josh the guy."
