Any interest in Dwight Freeney?

[AsthmaField]

I just can't see it. That signing would be against everything the team has been doing.

They are:

*Staying away from older "has been" type players.

*Staying away from any contracts that can result in dead cap dollars when the player's game falls off a cliff.

*Trying to keep younger, hungry guys who are less likely to have injuries and more likely to play hard for 4 quarters.


A move like this just hasn't been the MO since Garrett took over.

Yes. Let us get an older guy who might take snaps away from Gregory and Lawrence. That'd be a good idea. Those kids will learn plenty on the bench

In his prime, D. Freeney was quicker off the snap than anyone I have ever seen. He was phenomenal. However, he is now a sneeze away from an injury and his quickness is half of what it once was off the snap.

No thanks.

I loved his spin move. The best I've ever seen.

Progress stopper

 

[cds99]

If he was any good he wouldn't be available.

Is that was the only reason we got greg hardy too huh?

We got Greg Hardy because Carolina's owner is a moron.

 

[ShiningStar]

We got Greg Hardy because Carolina's owner is a moron.

and we thank him for that.

I've been wondering about him too. He had like 47 or 57 QB hurries last year and will be cheap. They wouldn't run to his side either.

F. Regarding his age, we wouldn't be signing him long term, and for what he could offer us, at the right spot I think he would be a good fit. Remember passing on Julius peppers last year. Probably cost us a super bowl. Not only would we have had a better pass rush, but he wouldn't have been there to strip Murray after beating Martin to the inside.

Passing on Julius Peppers did not cost Dallas a trip to the Superbowl. It was wise to pass on him. The Packers are now taking a $12 million cap hit to have Peppers on their roster another year older, not another year better.

 

[Plumfool]

Not needed.

 

[Plankton]

The question I have to ask is this:

Who do you cut to make room for him?

Kyle Wilber.

 

[JPostSam]

can he play safety?

 

[speedkilz88]

Kyle Wilber.

He's a Sam LB who might have already been bumped off the roster.

Tyrone with only 7? Do you buy that?

Mincey 16
Selvie 9
T Crawford 7
Melton 7
Lawrence 4
Spencer 4
McClain 4
Hayden 4

Nfl. Com one said 40 so I don't know lol. That's still a lot it's like almost more than our whole d line last year out together lol. Mincey was a beast and by far the best dl last year.

 

[NorthDalal]

Sign Freeney now. There is no such thing as saving reps for the younger guys at DE. This is not QB, this is a position that works be with fresh rotations of rushers all game.Freeney is a perfect mentor and may have something left in the tank as a situational PR.Smart Syracuse guy torange is the new Black!

 

[Plankton]

He's a Sam LB who might have already been bumped off the roster.

He's an expendable body. The position doesn't matter.

Yeah It didn't necessarily cost us a trip to the Super Bowl but......there's no Murray fumble(on a great play by Peppers) and Rogers two late TD drives did cost us a chance at the SB.
