The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released quarterback Josh Freeman on Thursday, but the organization's in-house drama isn't over yet. NFL columnist Michael Silver is reporting that an unnamed player told him that head coach Greg Schiano could lose the locker room.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Schiano's hard-nosed approach is well-documented in NFL circles, but his meticulous organization hasn't translated to wins in 2013. The Buccaneers are 0-4 on the season, losing last week to the Arizona Cardinals after making a quarterback change to rookie Mike Glennon.
Silver asked if Schiano could lose the locker room, to which the player said: “Unless we start winning games ASAP, absolutely.” There were reports this offseason that a players-only meeting was conducted to discuss the team’s captaincy vote, as it was alleged Schiano rigged the player voting to ensure Freeman was not made a captain in 2013.
Raheem Morris was Schiano’s predecessor and lasted 48 games before being fired following the 2011 season. He finished his three-year tenure with a win record of 0.354. Schiano currently has a 0.350 record since taking over the reigns in 2012.
