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?

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?

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
