Team Five For Freeny

Rob Gronkowski's one game suspension gave a breath of life to the career of Jonathan Freeny. The former member of the Pats was signed to replace Gronk. He played 19 snaps against the Dolphins before they released him days later. The Saints claimed him off waivers.

It has been quite a year for Freeny. After being released by the Pats in August, he spent three weeks with the Ravens and four days with the Jaguars.

His one game with the Pats was a good break because it gave him exposure to teams.

It has been quite a challenge for Freeny after being signed by the Dolphins in 2011 as an undrafted free agent. He played four seasons with them before signing with the Pats in 2015.

It was looking good after they gave him a two year extension in 2016. Injuries caused him to miss most of the season, but he played in the Super Bowl win over the Falcons.

He has lasted longer than most players.
