I really want to see the numbers on this deal, 3 years is at least 1 year too much IMO.

he wnt kake it to that third year i promise you... I bet you that this contract is performance based just to make sure if he struggles then we dnt look stupid for signing a 34 yr old DE to big money....

I think Abe, even as he advances in years, can be really good in Nolan's scheme.  In past years, every defense and their mom's knew that Abe was the big threat for a sack, so they schemed for him.  Nolan will be sending pressure from everywhere, which should open up some room for Abe.

As long as the money is good, I like this move a lot!
