I can't believe the Jaguars would pass on this kid. If he does get another gig, whatever money he makes under a new contract would that subtract from what the Bucs owe him after the new year?

Jaguars, or anyone else(Jags are 1st in line, then Steelers and so on) can put a claim on him in the next 24 hours and then negotiate a new contract.
Or if no one puts a claim on him in 24 hours , he is free to sign with any team in the NFL.
Freeman must have really pissed off the Tampa bay organization for them to pay him 5.9 mil to just go away.
Reported they called every team trying to work a trade, but of course no one would bite.
edit: whoever signs him gets to negotiate new contract.
The 5.9 mil(guaranteed money) paid by Bucs was what they had to do to release him.
