NFL Rumors: Dwight Freeney Likely Gone from Colts After This Season?

Found November 03, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Dwight Freeney,  Robert Mathis,  Jerry Hughes
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
Entering his contract year, Dwight Freeney has a lot to play for the Indianapolis Colts this season. So far, the 11-year veteran has been extremely disappointing this season, only having four tackles and one sack on the year in only five games played. With Robert Mathis re-signed, the Colts let Freeney stay in his contract year besides trading him away in the off-season. However, it looks like they were better off trading him, as he hasn’t done so great even with the transition to outside linebacker. Pro Football Weekly reports that the 32-year-old could be done for good in a Colts uniform after this season is done, as Freeney has continued to become inconsistent when he plays and hasn’t played much of a role in this defense. Even back-up Jerry Hughes has done a lot more, having 20 tackles and three sacks on the season. It looks like once the season is over, the Colts will look to move towards Mathis and Hughes as their next combo set of pass-rushers, leaving Freeney to walk and sign with whatever team he wants in the off-season. Freeney has been dealing with a high ankle sprain all season ever since he injured it in Week One. Since then, Freeney hasn’t been able to keep his production up. The only way I can see Freeney staying is if he can make a major turnaround for the second half of the season. With the Colts looking like a Wild Card team now, as they continue to improve every week, having Freeney step his game up would be nice. We’ll see what happens and if Freeney can finally get back to his old self. However, as PFW states, it would be a surprise seeing Freeney returning for 2013.
