Here are my comments on the Charles Woodson thread. They apply to Freeney too:
I don't know. I'm tired of the Pats picking up other teams' aging stars and trying to squeeze a few more good years out of them, often with mixed results (which look like this - older guy comes in, looks good in camp, looks like he's going to be great, oops, injury, just can't get back to form, after teasing us for a while). Is it too much to ask that they go into the draft and get a stud that can start young and healthy here and be here for years to come? It's been a while since Rodney Harrison joined the team.
It's not easy to just draft a stud. They only have one 1st and one 2nd. Why would signing Freeney for cheap be a bad idea? 32 isn't that old. If getting a young stud was that easy why would anybody sign veteran free agents?
