Seriously I've read posts of people who freeze them wet and then use them fairly soon after that.

Dry them, then freeze.
Dry them as much as you can. Even if its just spread on a screen for a day before you throw them in the freezer. Otherwise, what you are essentially doing is trying to freeze dry them without really removing the moisture. It will end up as frost on the inside of whatever bag you stuck them in and the shelf life will be significantly reduced.
