Packers release Freeman
By Steve Lawrence , steve_lawrence_packers@yahoo.com
Date: Aug 14, 2005
In a surprise move, the Green Bay Packers released veteran safety Arturo Freeman on Sunday. Along with Freeman's release, the Packers activated cornerback Chris Johnson.
Freeman was expected to contend for a starting job in the Packers' shaky secondary. The five-year veteran was well-versed in new defensive coordinator Jim Bates' scheme. Bates was the coordinator and interim coach in Miami, where Freeman played from 2001-2004. Last season, he started the final seven games, when Miami won three of its four games. He finished the season with a career- and team-high four interceptions. One of those interceptions sealed the upset victory over Super Bowl-champion New England.
The move no doubt surprised Freeman. Last week, he told reporters: "I know the system better than any of the other guys, because I've played in it before. I came here expecting to start, and I still expect that."

That's something of a surprise. Didn't he play some FS at Miami?
