Earlier this offseason, it appeared Abraham would not be back in Atlanta because of his 12 million per year asking price. However, once Mario Williams signed in Buffalo and the market wasn’t quite what Abraham thought it would be, he returned home for a more reasonable rate, 21 million over 3 years. Abraham is 34 in May, but he still had 9.5 sacks last season for a team that managed just 33 sacks as a whole so they needed him back. He can still be a productive player for at least a season or two and as long as there isn’t a ton of guaranteed money on this deal (no word on how much is guaranteed), this is a solid move for a team that didn’t have another option, with no other end of Abraham’s caliber left on the open market and no first round draft pick.
