The Indianapolis Colts have told Dwight Freeney, the team's all-time sack leader, that they won't re-sign him. Freeney, who turns 33 on Tuesday will become an unrestricted free agent, and has been in a sack drought the past 3 seasons. Freeney had anchored the Colts D ever since he was drafted in 2002, and frustrated team's LT and QB. He used the spin move technique to sack opposing QB and force turnovers. Freeney's 107.5 sacks is the most by any Colts player in Franchise History and he's the only Colts player to lead the league in sacks (16 in 2004), and went to 7 Pro Bowls. The Colts orginization, players, and fans are all going to miss Freeney's presence on defense, and giving opponents QB nightmares.
The Colts also released injury-prone wide reciever Austin Collie. Collie played only 1 game last season as he ruptured his patellar tendon in his right knee. Collie has been banged up the past 2 years as he's had 3 concussions the past 22 months.
Boston Power Surge
