The cap hit for VJax in 2012 was over 15 million.

If you include the signing bonus for restructuring, a little over 15 million.

Here are the Pro Bowl rosters from 2010 through 2012.   Please show me Josh Freeman in any of those.   I do see Davin Joseph.

I am missing the point obviously - in 2012 Davin shows up.  I saw the bucs and Davin play in 2012, I would not have projected him being a Pro Bowl selection at the end of the season based upon what I saw.  I have seen Davin's career - as you have - I have NEVER once found him to be a complete guard.  Some outstanding run and pass blocking noted - along with brain farts all too often to be considered Pro Bowl material to me - unless every guard in the conference managed to play worse than he did.

As for Freeman - again - I am missing the point - he hasn't been to the pro bowl.  Might he in the future - sure if he learns how to quickly read defenses and deliver short and mid range passes on target.  Otherwise - not likely.  And even then getting past Rogers, Brees and Manning will take not only a very good season from Freeman, the bucs will have to win and get in the playoffs as well.

The cap hit for VJax in 2012 was over 15 million.

And next yr, his cap his is $3mil. Does that make him a $3mil a year player?

[JavaRay]

With all that guaranteed money he got (26 million), his salary is 15 million for each of the first 2 years.   If he does play the entire contract out, it will be over 11 million a year.   But my bet is he renegotiates again before it's over.
