Freeney 95 percent certain he’ll play in 2016
Free agent sack specialist Dwight Freeney, who’s 36, said he’s 95 percent sure that he will play in the 2016 NFL season during an interview Thursday on SiriusXM NFL radio.
He visited with the Falcons on Wednesday after visiting with the Bengals the previous week.
Freeney, who has 119.5 career sacks, wants to continue playing. He said it wasn’t planned for him to land a contract on either of his visits.
He’ll likely make a decision closer to training camp in late July. He also said that Atlanta would likely be his last visit.
