If you watch, Friedman plays more of an insider role when on the panel. He dishes the trade info, the player info, the relationship between player and club info, trade secrets, the current news, etc, etc. He doesn't actually provide an insight as to how the game is being played at the moment.
It's a smart way to break up the monotony of in-game highlights and the opinion diarrhea of the ex-players arguing with each other on the panel.
