How did we not retain his rights?
thats a good question, if the timbers drafting findley and bornstein have taught me anything though, it's that USMNT players have their rights retained by their MLS club so possibly that rule is exclusive to USMNT players...I don't believe he (freeman) was capped at the senior levelQuote:

The Bulls must have traded his rights to Houston.
I dont remember much about him in those 7 games... except this:
Remember that awesome Freeman O.G.
lol rocker^^^ nice... same thought as me
The guy scored for Houston before even signing for them???
Only us.

Found this for clarification...

Toronto FC retains Freeman's rights until Dec. 31, 2009. If Freeman returns to the league before or on that date, Toronto FC will give New York its second round 2011 MLS SuperDraft pick. If Freeman returns after Dec. 31, 2009, New York retains Freeman's MLS rights and would not receive compensation by Toronto FC.
nah, Mo didn't give up anything to get him, as it turned out. According to the link posted above, he gave NY 2 picks in the 2009 Supplemental Draft, a draft that was cancelled and never took place.Quote:

I remember Freeman being a solid fullback, except for that one OG

That OG was right in front of me. As soon as I read his name I remembered it. Stupid Sutton, that's what you get for creeping up behind your defenders, trying to scare them.
