Here is a route that many people might not have thought about, but could be an interesting solution to an actual form of competition for Feeeman.

Trade a 2nd round pick to the Patriots for Ryan Mallet.

Let me start off by saying I am a Freeman supporter, this is plainly a hypothetical solution for the ones looking to provide competition. Also, I was not a huge fan of Mallet coming out of the draft, but he had talent for sure. I believe sitting behind Brady for a few years must have helped the part if the game he was laking between his ears.

Schiano has ties to the Pats and I believe they "owe him one" with the Talib deal. If we are willing to spend a second on Mile Glennon, I'd much rather go the Mallet route.
