The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on the verge of getting rid of disgruntled quarterback Josh Freeman, and they’ve made him inactive for today’s game against the Arizona Cardinals:

#Bucs plan to make QB Josh Freeman inactive today, in part because he missed more than 1 meeting this week, per Bucs source

The team will also try to trade him, which will prove difficult to do with his contract:

The biggest thing that may keep Bucs from trading Josh Freeman is his $6.44 million contract. You don't trade players, you trade contracts
