Dwight Freeney is in the final year of a six-year, $72 million contract with the Indianapolis Colts. He's a seven-time Pro Bowl pick and the franchise leader with 106.5 career sacks. The Colts have remade the roster, the scheme and the front office -- and they have a decision to make. "I'm 32 years old, turning 33 (Feb. 19), going into my 12th year," Freeney told The Indianapolis Star this week. "Numbers not the best, making a lot money. ... That's not really a good combination for staying in an organization. "That being said, I've done a lot. We'll see what happens at the end of the year. I can only do as much as I can." Freeney has just 10 tackles and four sacks in 13 games this season while being asked to switch from a 4-3 defensive end to a 3-4 outside linebacker. There has been success rushing the passer, but the numbers are impossible to ignore as is his age. Source: NFL.com
I'm confident he can still be a very good DE. He's just not a 3-4 olb, and he's worth more to a 4-3 team than the Colts.
Dude is not a 3-4 OLB, he's a d end, his talent is wasted as an OLB that being said he is getting up there in age.
