"Teams are in love with young guys," he said. "I get it, but teams overlook that young guys don't always live up to that promise. How many times have you heard, 'This guy is the next Lawrence Taylor' or something like that? Teams also are in love with numbers and data when sometimes numbers can't take into account the heart of a player. Teams back their draft picks because they don't want their drafts to be wrong."

All of this is hearsay, but if I'm the Bengals why am I waiting to see if Hunt and Clark are going to show what they have taken several years to prove they haven't got when we have a future hall of famer that proved just last season that he still has it?

couple things on the post.. maybe im wrong but none of the teams above have even had a meeting with him except maybe Arizona.. also he said he wanted to go to a Super Bowl contender, i don;t consider NO on that list and Houston is questionable, so not sure that lines up very well with Freeney and his wants
