Freddy must be looking forward to being used wide right for a half then being benched by Pitor Nowak. Those guys love each other.

Good move for Freddie. I am of the opinion that people have given up on him way, way too early. A confidence-building move back to the States is what he needs.

I agree that it's a smart move. Nowak wouldn't have brought him to Philly if their relationship were not mended.
