This would be a very good move
The guy is a model of consistency no matter how old he is, a change of scenery would do some good and he could provide very good production for us |

No way should they trade Smith and Wilson for him, and now that there's a chance of Smith getting his 4 game suspension overturned or suspended, the Saints might not need another DE.
Freeney has a massive cap hit and he'll be an UFA come next offseason, so without a new contract settlement to accompany the trade, it would be too expensive for a 1-year deal - $14M base salary and $19M cap hit. |

Bull, Will Smith got to nothing last year and im usually a Will Smith supporter. Plus DE's are going to have to cover open area sometimes in Zone scheme and Freeney way faster than Smith. Fit him in.....
