Dwight Freeney intends to continue playing going into the 2017 season, USA Today's Tom Pelissero reports.Freeney, who is likely destined for the Hall of Fame once he retires, ended his 15th season with four sacks over the Atlanta Falcons' final eight total games, including one in their Super Bowl collapse.
