John Abraham = Al Wallace can we make it happen?

[koolkatluke]

He's 33 and Falcons aren't trying to bring him back.

Steve Wyche reports Abraham’s agent said he has been given indications by the team that Abraham will be allowed to test free agency. If an agent says that it probably means he’s been told there’s no chance of his client re-signing. The Falcons are usually pretty straight shooters when it comes to these matters, so it’s likely Abraham’s been told he won’t be back.

With all the FA wr threads popping up around here. This guy could really help us for 2 or 3 seasons and play a Al wallce role for us.

Not to mention he's from SC and has a home there.

Could we free up enough Cap to sign him?

[jtnc]

Yep.

[Rags]

Meh.

If he would do a one year deal at 1 million, I'd say hell yes..

Dude had like 9 sacks last year. I would give him a Ron edwards deal. 2-3 years 2.5-3 mil a year.

Watch us sign him and then he gets injured in training camp like all our other defensive players do.

Things will not be breaking our way this year.

He made 8 million salary in 2011 and counted 10 million against the cap. What do you think it would take to land him this year?? I suspect that a 3 year deal would have to be in the 15 million range to land him. he is like Jason Williams was a few years ago, not in his prime but not washed up yet either.

I doubt we try and sign him. He doesn't fit in with our general youth movement.

I wouldn't go more then 4 mil. He is 33 and not the most durable.

No, waste of cap. Need to re-sign a few players and get decent depth at other positions. I doubt you will see more than one major free agent acquisition from outside the organization. I bet someone unexpected has a breakout season for us. One of our no-name players, I mean. Hopefully someone on defense, hopefully a DT. But you never know.

Re-sign what players again?
