Freeny signed a contract with the Lions on Monday, Brad Galli of WXYZ Detroit reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeny is a seven-year veteran who finished the 2017 campaign with New Orleans after logging separate stints in Baltimore and New England. Now in Detroit, Freeny will reunite with Lions head coach Matt Patricia, who periodically coached Freeny for parts of the 2015, 2016 and 2017 seasons when Patricia was the defensive coordinator of the Patriots. In 18 totals games under Particia, Freeny accumulated 60 tackles, one sack, one pass breakup and two forced fumbles.

Freeny was claimed off of the Patriots' waivers by the Saints on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move forces the Saints to cut defensive back Sterling Moore. Freeny's signing likely has to do with linebacker A.J. Klein's (groin) doubtful status for Sunday's inter-conference matchup with the Jets. Freeny did not see much of the field in New England, recording only two tackles in four games, but could be thrust into action right away for New Orleans with Klein injured and linebackers Alex Anzalone (shoulder) and Nathan Stupar (knee) on injured reserve.

Freeny was released by the Patriots on Wednesday, Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeny signed with the team last week to provide linebacker depth. The return of tight end Rob Gronkowski from his one-game suspension always meant it was likely to be a short stay for the 28-year-old.

The Patriots and Freeny agreed to a contract Wednesday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeny, who previously appeared in 18 regular-season contests with the Patriots over the past two seasons before being released in September, will offer the team some experienced depth at outside linebacker, an area of need with Kyle Van Noy (calf) and Trevor Reilly (concussion) uncertain to play Sunday against the Dophins. With the Patriots needing to clear a roster spot next week once tight end Rob Gronkowski completes a one-game suspension, Freeny could be sent back to the free-agent pool in the near future.

Freeny was released by the Jaguars on Saturday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeny was cut to make room for recently acquired defensive tackle Marcell Dareus. With the release, Freeny will be able to sign with any team should he draw interest.

The Jaguars signed Freeny to a contract Tuesday, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

To clear a roster spot for the edge rusher, the Jaguars waived defensive back Lafayette Pitts. Freeny, appeared in three games for the Ravens this season before being cut earlier in October, with all of his snaps coming on special teams. It's expected that a similar role with await Freeny in Jacksonville.

Freeny was released by the Ravens on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Freeny signed with Baltimore a little less than a month ago but now finds himself out of the job as the team decided to bring in linebacker Steven Johnson. Freeny only played on special teams during his three-game span with the Ravens, recording two tackles in the process.

Freeny signed a contract with the Ravens on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeny, who spent parts of the past two seasons with the Patriots, provides the Ravens with extra depth on the edge in the wake of Brent Urban's (foot) placement on injured reserve.

Freeny (shoulder) has been a full participant in offseason practices, Rich Garven of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeny landed on injured reserve last October with an unspecified shoulder injury. Now that he's back on the field without any restrictions, look for the sixth-year Rutgers product to compete with Trevor Bates, Elandon Roberts and Harvey Langi for a depth role at linebacker.

Freeny (shoulder) was placed on IR Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Freeny injured his shoulder last week and was ruled out for Week 6 prior to being shut down for the season. Shea McClellin and Barkevious Mingo will handle the outside linebacker duties in Freeny's absence.
