Falcons | Looking to bolster pass rush

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 09:46:20 -0700

The Atlanta Falcons are looking to bolster their pass rush to help DL John Abraham. The Falcons don't have a first-round pick in the NFL Draft and may pursue another pass rusher at some point in the draft; however, they still view Abraham as their top threat up front. "You don't want to have just one guy that's getting all the production," head coach Mike Smith said. "You want other defensive linemen and linebackers being productive pass rushers ... You want to have a scheme that puts added pressure on the quarterback on third downs."

Falcons | John Abraham might need to take pay cut to return

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:21:35 -0800

Free-agent DL John Abraham (Falcons) (groin) was on a play count for most of the season after suffering a groin injury early in the year. The team increased his number of plays late in the season and for the playoffs, however. He had a base salary of $8.5 million, and led the team with 9 1/2 sacks. If he returns, it will likely be at a reduced salary and as a designated pass-rush specialist.

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 22:22:41 -0800

Atlanta Falcons DL Lawrence Sidbury is tied for the team lead with DL John Abraham with four sacks, and the team is mulling a larger role for the reserve. "He's still a young player.

We have to take a good, hard look at him."
