Wow. On the surface that looks like a horrible contract for the Colts.
The guy is a one-trick pony. It's a good trick and he's very good at it, but he isn't even the best in the league at his trick.
Other teams gameplan for the guy, but in a bad way. "Run the ball at Freeney because he doesn't defend the run well" is not what you want to hear about the highest paid defenseman in the league.
This should only embolden Asante. Asante's ranking among CBs is fairly similar to Freeney's spot among DLs, except that Freeney has a track record. Neither is the best at his position but is probably considered top 5. 12M/year for that is downright silly.
