Would Dwight Freeney be brought back? Until he signs elsewhere, I suppose that's possible. But he just visited the Bengals and news came today he's going to visit the Falcons, and at some point, if he makes sense somewhere else, he may just come off the market. In the meantime, it's understandable that the Cardinals don't see a need to have him right now.

The trade for Chandler Jones obviously impacted the situation. If Freeney -- who was originally signed because Alex Okafor got hurt, if you recall -- was the lead pass rusher, well, that's Jones' job now. Markus Golden likely is the other starter, and a healthy Okafor is back and apparently past whatever was left from his playoff disappearance. Plus, the Cards want to see what they have in Tristan Okapalaugo, Shaq Riddick and Zack Wagenmann.

If we get to training camp and Freeney remains unsigned and the depth isn't looking quite like what the Cardinals wanted, Freeney would be a natural option. This deep into the offseason, though, it feels like a long-term waiting game, if it were to happen at all.
