re: So do we want Dwight Freeney?

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.

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.

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.
