Why Seahawks are reportedly courting a seven-time Pro Bowl pass rusher as old as their defensive coordinator

RENTON Pete Carroll can never have enough pass rushers.

And the Seahawks really miss Cliff Avril.

Those are the two reasons Seattle is reportedly interested in free-agent edge rusher Dwight Freeney.

Dave Mahler of KJR-AM radio in Seattle was the first to report Monday the former Indianapolis Colts seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end was in town and scheduled to visit Seahawks headquarters Tuesday to take a physical and possibly join the Seahawks for at least the final 10 games of this regular season.

Avril, one of Seattle’s Pro Bowl defensive ends, may not play again this season or ever.
