ATLANTA, May 25 (UPI) -- The king of the defensive end spin move is circling the rounds of the NFL as a free agent.

Dwight Freeney, 36, is expected to visit the Atlanta Falcons next week, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Schefter reported early Wednesday that Freeney had visited the Cincinnati Bengals and even took a physical with the team. Freeney had eight sacks in 11 games last season with the Arizona Cardinals. Several teams have shown interest in the three-time All-Pro.

In 14 seasons, Freeney has compiled 119.5 quarterback sacks for the Indianapolis Colts, San Diego Chargers, and Cardinals.

"Arizona would be a great team," Freeney told ESPN earlier this month. "But if it doesn't work out here, it could be anywhere. It just depends. It has to be a winning team. I'm used to winning."
