Dwight Freeney.

IIRC Didn't Osi have a bit of an issue with Sheridan?

Yes, he does. Admittedly, it's a "want" that's not all that realistic.

Another option....

Bring Osi and his entourage. Obviously he's a baller.

As a OLB yeah, but put him back at DE he's a double digit sack leader. I think Freeney is the bookend to the D-line. Bring on the corner situation.

I'm skeptical that he's still got double digit sack seasons in him at this point in his career, even at DE.  But that's not to say that he couldn't still be a very useful player.  He'd also provide a veteran presence that the line is kind of lacking right now.

He had 8.5 the year before they switched to a 3-4 defense. His first year in that defense he still got 5 sacks. If not for the ankle injuries I think both years he has double digits. He's not what he use to be but still a huge threat rushing the passer and with all the Big DEs Tampa has that come with power..adding a little speed would complete it.

Freeney is a SD Charger

which makes little sense since he has stated he doesnt like the 3-4.

He's playing for The Ring.


(last 4 teams to play in Philly's home opener have gone on to win the SB. SD plays the Philly opener in 2013)
