John Abraham a candidate for release in ATL
John Abraham - DL - Atlanta Falcons
Feb. 5, 2013 - 1:15 AM ET
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution names John Abraham as a potential candidate for release.
The Falcons don't have much cap space, and they need to extend Matt Ryan's contract while re-signing free agents SS William Moore and LT Sam Baker. Losing Abraham would be a major blow since he's the team's only legitimate pass rusher. Atlanta mustered up just 29 sacks in 2012, and Abraham had ten of them. The Falcons could save $10.4 million by cutting Abraham and Michael Turner.
