Would you age a brisket point for 2 weeks or freeze it if you ran out of free days?

I got a couple packer briskets on saturday and did one whole and one just the flat. Now i have a nice looking point in the fridge left over in a ziploc and no free days to smoke it for 2 weeks maybe 3. I have aged plenty of primal cuts in a second fridge i have downstairs so this is not the fear but i dont want to loose 50% of my meat in the trim! Will it be a significant loss? Ive never aged a brisket. Or should i just vac seal it and freeze this beautiful chunk of beef (never done that before either)
Any insights would be greatly appreciated
 
Freeze it or cure it in Pops Brine for the 3 weeks to make a great Pastrami. Points are not that big. After trimming the aged meat, there would be nothing left....JJ
