FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn said he recently spoke with Dwight Freeney, and this time, the seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end made clear he is ready for a comeback.
"He wants to play," Quinn said Wednesday of the 37-year-old. "I’d say he’s further along in the decision than he was last year."
Quinn, who'd previously spoken to Freeney solely about his golf game, stopped well short of saying the Falcons intend to re-sign Freeney at this time.
