Ryan Grigson: Dwight Freeney will be a Colt in 2012

Found March 26, 2012 on Pro Football Zone:
PLAYERS: Dwight Freeney
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
96349628
According to Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star, Colts general manager Ryan Grigson made it clear that defensive end Dwight Freeney won’t be going anywhere, despite reports that they were looking to trade him at one point. It’s believed that the Colts were unable to trade the 32 year-old Freeney because he’s due to make $14 million in 2012, which is the final year of his current deal.  The Colts will likely allow him to play out his final year and let him leave in free agency.

Luck: no word from Colts on selection

Either way, Andrew Luck has...
