Freeney and Jordan would be a force!

Interesting. Not getting the job done. Think I would pass. I watched him some this season and really not doing anything.

DF has 4 sacks in 3 games. He's still a good third down pass rusher. The production is still there and he can help a team.

Michael Bennett is healthy now & rarely comes out (see Cam Jordan) on 3rd down.

Like I said, what has he done. I watched a couple of games and he did next to nothing. Even the announcer said it so I know I'm not crazy.

Re: Seattle Seahawks cut pass rusher Dwight Freeney

At this stage of his career, he's a situational pass rushing specialist. Good luck finding a guy this late in the season with those stats playing mostly on 3rd downs. He won't be unemployed long ... unless he's simply had enough of the day to day grind.

Pete Carroll is an idiot.

He is also a penalty machine. Offsides mainly. No thanks.

Re: Seattle Seahawks cut pass rusher Dwight Freeney

I am nervous about the DE rotation

Cameron Jordan
Trey Hendrickson
Hau'oli Kikaha
Al-Quadin Muhammad
Zach Wood

but maybe not nervous enough.

bit long in tooth and he might get some fire in the belly to chase a ring.

It is actually the other way around. Three sacks in four games. No other tackles. One pass defended. He is probably the Seahawks Adam Bighill. Designated "cuttee" when roster moves are required. At this point of the year who has a totally open roster spot to use to take a chance?

Probably no one. I'm simply stating Dwight will help a team, but it probably won't be the Saints. We need a run defender to replace Okafor more than anything. Not just a rotational pass rush guy. Mohammad and Kikaha need those snaps.

Need a DE who can set the edge and collapse a pocket. It’s looking like the young guns are current best option

And we still have Ony who backed up Cam Jordan last season - If anything, I'd like to have another Defensive Tackle...

Justin Zimmer has been ripping in the CFL, getting reps, experience; I'd correct DA's mistake of letting him geaux...

Then Again

Adam Bighill Cut By The Saints More Times Than The Natural Turf At The Airline Practice Facility

Four-time CFL All-Star and five-time West Division All-Star who totaled 489 tackles, 33 sacks, eight forced fumbles, eight interceptions and 69 special teams tackles in 99 games.

I don't know if Okafor can be replaced with our current roster of young players.

I’m all for it even if it’s just for leadership. Unless it turns into an AP situation.

Lions signed Freeney; Chiefs signed Revis.
