The guy is 37, even if they do sign him-how effective can he still be?

If there comes a situation, where we absolutely need pressure on the QB, we put him in and let him go all out for several plays a game. If he succeeds.. it was worth it.

i'm sure he talked to DQ before asking him here for a visit.

Dwight Freeney would bring in a HoF career of expertise, even if he's far from the prime of his career... guys like Clark, Jackson, Smith and Jefferson... whom all are young can learn from him. Bennett as well seems like the type of player who wouldn't mind picking Freeney's brain.

Last season he had 4 sacks, which is the same amount of sacks Cassius Marsh has for his entire career.

Give this guy 10-15 snaps on obvious passing downs and he can make a difference. Obvious passing downs right now are the weakest part of the Seahawks defense, with all the 3rd-and-long conversions they've allowed. Freeney won't cost much, would be a great vet to have in the locker room, will be fresh, and probably still has enough left in the tank for one more title run.

Do it.

Why not give it shot his spin move is a thing of beauty.

The way we use DE's, just being on the field if he is in shape will make LT's jump and he should be able to own most RT's still just on experience, he won't be a 30 snap guy probably, more like 15 to keep him fresh and to spell our regulars. That and a few weeks showing Clark and Jackson some of his technique and study habits can only help.

Who's Albert? Agree with you especially since he'd be cheap and replaceable if it didn't work out.

Your right I meant Jackson, been looking at to many rosters lately.

How far away is Dion Jordan from playing?

I liked what Kevin Williams did for the team in 2014. If Freeney can produce close to anything like that, even on a rotational basis, it would be a win for us. Don't know if he can still do it but the guy has a spin move granted by the gods.

Ok Chris, I wasn't trying to give you a bad time. I just have no clue who Albert or Jackson is.

No risk..why not?

Beat me to it.

I'm ok with this move if it works out like a player/coach thing. Freeney can probably coach our younger guys up. Other than that, I'm not sure how he even makes it through one of our practices at 37.

Jackson was the cut we picked up from Oakland two weeks ago.

Not sure that he has the focus to do it anymore.

Dwight played under a 1 mil contract last season and coached up all of DQ's guys. I read and article which talked about Vic Beasley over there in ATL who talked up Dwight's mentoring as one of the prime reasons he was doing so well at 15.5 sacks last year. Dwight apparently excels at mentoring and it would be a fantastic pick up for us.

He grabbed the ATL guys I guess last year and held an impromptu clinic with them after practice where they ate and he shared techniques etc with the DLmen.
