John Abraham is better than Super Mario!

I'm hoping for Dwight Freeney if/when he gets released.

#1: Mario
#2: Freeney
#3: Abraham

Freeney JUST turned 32 last month, Abraham is turning 34 in May. 2 year difference. I'd love Freeney to a 2 or 3 year contract, and would be MUCH cheaper than Mario.

 

Abraham is seeking 10+ million, He isnt that much cheaper then Mario

eek that says 12 mil. I am starting to wonder what Williams will get now. Jones is going to be real happy as well.

 

0% chance that him or Jones get what they're looking for.

 

I don't know why so many posters are jumping down your throat, I don't see this as a bad idea at all at the right price. He's still productive and will be for another 2 years. Just because he may only have that long left doesn't make it a bad move. It's not that easy to fill holes in this league, we wanted to fix the DL this past season and failed at it. Who's to say we're not gonna fail again? We don't know if our 1st round draft pick is gonna bust. Signing a guy like Abraham is more of a sure bet IMO.

Of course I'd prefer Mario, but I surely wouldn't be angry if we signed Abraham while we continue to look for our next big DE through the draft.

 

Maybe, but it is possible. It is a fairly small market for pass rushers and a team needing a piece or two may not mind shelling out that money. I doubt he gets $12million but I think he wants more than what we are willing to spend for him.

 

My thing is if we are going to spend that much money, why not get someone who can be productive for the next 4-5 years, instead of hopefully 2.

For the right price, sure. The Titans have to bring in a veteran DE (and I absolutely believe they will). I don't care if the guy is 34, a bit past his prime and will be retired by the time the Titans are ready to compete for a Super Bowl. That is irrelevant.

This team is going to have Derrick Morgan and a 1st rounder from the upcoming draft playing DE for it next season. A vet presence would be huge. Some leadership for the young guys. A player who is still good enough to motivate them.

In many ways, the development of Morgan and the soon-to-be-drafted player will determine whether the Titans will become a legit contender or not. If Abraham is the guy to show them the tricks of the trade and give them some leadership, I'm all for it.

 

Abraham could be great for a team who is just one small step away from contending for a championship.

We need a lot of help to make a run at the big game. Adding Abraham would help, but we need long term solutions on the d-line, not a one year guy.

Abraham would be a great fit with a team like the Bears. Put him opposite Julius Peppers and you have what would be a nightmare for QBs. Plus, the Bears were 7-3 and ready to make another deep playoff run before Cutler went down.

I'm not an Abraham hater. I just hate the idea of us literally wasting $10mil. We didn't want to keep Finnegan for one year at $10.6mil, so why would we want to keep an old man for the same price - for one season?
