The Facts: Freeman is Eli Manning’s new backup quarterback. Shortly after news broke that Freeman and the Giants were close, Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reported that the two sides have agreed to terms.

Diehards Line: As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, the Giants were the opponent for Freeman’s only start in a Vikings uniform, and Freeman was terrible: He completed just 20 of 53 passes for 190 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception, and the Vikings lost 23-7. But the Giants must have seen something that day -- and in Freeman’s body of work with the Buccaneers -- to make them think he has potential. Fortunately, fantasy football owners can continue to view him for what he currently is: A veteran who will compete with Ryan Nassib and Curtis Painter for the right to serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Manning.
