Steelers Said To Be Interested In Free Agent DE Dwight Freeney

While free agent defensive end Elvis Dumervil has been mentioned recently as an alleged target of the Steelers, a new target has emerged.

According to Pro Football Talk, former Colts DE Dwight Freeney is on the Steelers' radar now, as well as the Ravens' and the Broncos.

The Denver Post reports if the Broncos do not sign Dumervil to the three-year offer they've given him, they are expected to go after Freeney or John Abraham.

Freeney is coming off a career low 12 tackles, and his five sacks was the lowest total he's had since 2007, when he only played in nine games.

Not sure they can afford him unless he's willing to play for the minimum deal...

 

I'd much rather have Dumerville if they are trying to spend money.

 

Agree!!

 

People forget Freeney doesn't fit in a 34 defense.

 

Yeah he is wasted in a defense like theirs, he's a natural DE, not an OLB, why do you think the Colts cut him.

 

He's got Denver written all over him with Dumervil going to Baltimore.
