Arthur Blank on signing Freeney

“He’s signed. The ink is dry. It’s not even about his stature because his stature could be a statue. …What you’re interested in is can a player still produce. Last year in Arizona he played in 11 games and he had eight sacks and three forced fumbles. He had a high level of production. We think he’s got that capacity left in him. This year, he wants to play another year. He had a lot of options and it’s a credit to coach (Dan) Quinn and our organization that he chose this one as opposed to some other options that he had. He’ll make a difference as a player. We didn’t bring him in as a coach. But I think the younger players will learn a lot from his style, his technique and the way he plays and the way he practices as well.”
