Sacks are hard to come by. While not eye-popping totals, Will Smith is the best returning pass-rusher on the DL so I definitely wouldn't want to cut him. Relatively still "young" compared to Freeney and durable, too.

Will Smith 6.5 sacks
Junior Galette 4.5 sacks
Turk McBride 2.0 sacks
Martez Wilson 1.0 sack (as a part-time LB)
Sed Ellis 0.5 sack
Broderick Bunkley 0.0 sacks

But I do like adding Freeney even though he's suffered thru some injuries. He only played in 9 games, but he still had 8.5 sacks. And I agree I'd like to have him hopefully with a restructured contract as a sack specialist.

He's a big name with prior year stats to back it up. Somebody is going to be spending Ferrari money, and they're going to end up with a Volvo.

Stats are nowhere near the entire story fwiw. Pressure makes QBs NFL QBs putrid. I know I link a lot of profootballfocus stuff, but this is really an interesting article that relates to sacks.
