Quarterback Josh Freeman does some of his best work in the no-huddle offense, but when it comes to talk about a contract extension, there's no call for the hurry-up. Neither Freeman nor the Bucs are interested in negotiating a new deal until at least 2013, according to his father, Ron Freeman, an agent for CAA who handles his son's contract. "We haven't had any discussions about it," Ron Freeman said. "I think there's no rush. Obviously, we want to have something done by 2013. It's really kind of wait and see. I don't think either side feels like there's any reason to do something before then." Freeman, 24, has reason to wait. Not only does he have two years remaining on his contract that pays $8.585 million in salary and bonus this season and $10.45 million in 2013, but he's coming off a 16-touchdown, 22-interception season.

Big year for Freeman, a repeat of 2010 will get him paid, a repeat of 2011 will get him a nice clipboard and a space on the bench with his name on it (Admittedly he was hurt last year).
