xSICKxWITHxITx Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff recently hinted that bringing back free agent DE John Abraham is extremely unlikely.The Falcons cut Abraham and his $4.25 million base salary in March. They proceeded to replace him with Osi Umenyiora on a two-year, $8.5 million deal. The 35-year-old Abraham is still on the open market, but it's unclear if he's willing to accept a reduced role for limited pay on the team that shunned him. Before the Falcons make any veteran additions, they need to get Matt Ryan's contract extension done.Related: FalconsSource: Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jun 25 - 9:20 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's weird how the Abe talk has come back the last few days. Just when I was accepting his departure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It's weird how the Abe talk has come back the last few days. Just when I was accepting his departure.Jeff Schultz from AJC wrote an article about it - that is why - no substance, just his opinion.

xSICKxWITHxITx Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Lol yeah I never thought he was coming back. I know people still think or hope he is though. Just seen that posted so thought I would share the reality. By the way if we don't have to resign him it's a good thing not bad. Even though I like Abe as well.

xSICKxWITHxITx Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Falcons don't need a Ryan ext to add cap room they have plenty to sign Abe or FreeneyI thought Freeney already signed somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSICKxWITHxITx Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I meant SeymourOh ok. I'd love to sign Abe and Seymour, but I'm hoping the young talent allows us not to have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E. T. Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Time for the young guys to shine.Agreed... Time for the young birds to fly. They were picked by TD for a reason and its time to prove their worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuggle'2 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I would love to see Abe ... Back maybe the falcon nation can start a twitter rant to get him to come back .... It may help TD for cutting him ....Not sure if this is sarcasm but Abe has already asked repeatedly that Falcon fans stop tweeting for him to come back. He's been being harassed for months now and it ain't cool at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamee101 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I don't see any Dimitroff quotes there.I don't expect him to be back, but I'm just saying I'm not getting anything from them merely mentioning his name. TD is a poker player, but he's not really a guy to say one thing and do the exact opposite as well. If there's a window he'll make a statement that lets you know there is one even if it is unlikely.

kane#7 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I like Goodman.If the kid gets 8+ sacks this year Abe will become a distant memory.True but if we struggle at pass rush again we will not go far in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
