Dwight Freeney looking for work

[KJJ]

With Hardy gone and DLaw and Gregory suspended the first 4 weeks the Cowboys might have to consider Freeney.

As veteran-adverse as this club is, I strongly doubt it.

Who do we cut for Freeney?

Ryan Russell

For now? A UDFA. No need to rush.

Would love to sign him, at least as a stop gap until Lawrence/Gregory return. I realize he's 36 but hold on guys, he's still hungry and had 8 sacks last season in 11 games. That's the same total as Lawrence and twice as many as Crawford and they played 16 games. Salary last year was $970,000, counting $412,000 against the cap. Well worth it IMO. Opinions...

GO COWBOYS!!!!!

Nothing like an old, hungry guy who has been released elsewhere.

True, I was hoping to imply what it'd be with a person like Freeney. You sign this guy, and even if he is Gregory's backup, he'll be cutting into someone like Tapper's playtime.

Hardy kept Gregory from getting a larger number of snaps. The injury didn't help at all but still, the guy was barely on the field even after he was back.

True but then again Gregory has put us in a situation where he can't be trusted. Dallas needs to be able to bring a pass rush and Freeney can still do that. I think once Gregory gets back Freeney snaps will go down but in doing so I think his production in terms of getting pressure will continue to be a big help to the Cowboys. Freeney is not going to be able to maintain a lot of snaps in a 16 week season but would be a big help over the 1st 4 and again with limited snaps for the remainder he can still help this defense out.

count me as one who would have some interest, he could rotate in on obvious passing downs, if he has anything left in the tank.

8 sacks in 11 games last year for the Cards. But he was also surrounded by some good talent.

Ryan Russell

I'll wait until training camp and preseason 1st (on how Russell performs) before we sign anyone, much less Freeney.
