The release of Dwight Freeney by the Colts had the league buzzing over the weekend, Peter King of Sports Illustrated reports. One GM who was very interested already in former Giant pass rusher Osi Umenyiora told me Freeney would leapfrog Umenyiora on his free-agent board. Assuming he wants to play for a Super Bowl contender, Freeney, who turns 33 tomorrow, would be smartest to take a contract that has minimal guarantees and maximum performance incentives. He's missed but two games due to injury in the last three years, but teams will be skeptical of how much he has left, considering his last two seasons produced a pedestrian 13.5 sacks.

he's still got a little left in the tank but would probably be best served playing a rotational role and mentoring some young guys.
