He’s old

He could be a situational pass rusher to lessen the burden of losing Okafor for the year.

Why was he cut. I watched the last Seahawk game and he still has a motor.

Frick it. Why not

Adding in to the rotation, sure why not. He's still been getting sacks and if we're down a guy he can add to the rotation

Let him come get a super bowl with us.

What we need is a 1st and 2nd down player half as good as Ok.

Then another by giving up a 25 point lead to Tom Brady

Sign that man. Guy still has motor and has a ball of knowledge/experience in the old noggin. To the ship!

Yes
Posted on 11/21/17 at 8:08 pm to spaghettioeauxs
On the cheap for the rest of the year, sure why not.

So we should stay the frick away from him. I don't want to get to the SB just to lose it.

The Seattle Seahawks released veteran defensive end Dwight Freeney on Tuesday after four games with the team.
Freeney, 37, signed with the Seahawks in October as they searched for pass-rush help. He recorded three sacks in his first two games before failing to record a defensive statistic the last two weeks.
The Seahawks made no corresponding roster move, which leaves them with 52 men on their active roster. That makes Freeney's release a bit unique, as teams typically like to carry the full 53—especially at this late point in the season.
Freeney is second among active players behind Julius Peppers with 125.5 career sacks and ranks 17th on the all-time list. A 2002 first-round pick, Freeney has been named to seven Pro Bowls and four All-Pro teams. The Seahawks were his fifth NFL team, joining the Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers, Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons.
"His preparation. How long he takes. Practice starts at 2 p.m., he's going to take an hour-and-a-half to get ready for that practice," Seahawks pass-rusher Frank Clark told Tim Booth of the Associated Press (h/t Washington Post). "I'm not sure if that's because of his age, I'm not sure if it's because he's 16 years in, but at the end of the day it has something to do with why he's played 16 years. I'm sure it didn't just come overnight. I'm sure it's something he's going to continue to do."
If this is the end of Freeney's NFL career, he'll go down as one of the greatest pass-rushers of his generation and be a good bet for the Hall of Fame.
Even with the lack of production over the last two games, it's hard to call his short run with the Seahawks a bust. His three sacks rank only behind Clark (4.5) and Michael Bennett (6.5) for the team lead.

Definitely need him here with the loss of Okafor.

it would be futile
Posted on 11/21/17 at 8:37 pm to 1BamaRTR
I was surprised he was still in the league until I saw him play last night. I would give him a shot if he took a pay cut.

How is he done?
He's got 3 sacks, that's more than Hendrickson and Hendrickson has played way more. If he wants to come here on the cheap then I'd be down. He'd be a great locker room guy, could help mentor Kikaha and Hendrickson and he obviously still has something left.
Him, Kikaha, Cam and Rankins rushing the passer in an obvious passing situation in a NASCAR like package? Yes please
