John Abraham has reached a deal to return to the Atlanta Falcons. If you want to complain about the Titans missing out on someone because of the Peyton Manning chase, this is the guy that you can point at. It was reported that they had interest, but they were not able to get anything set up because of the meeting with Peyton.

There really isn't a good option left on the free agent market for a pass rusher. At this point they are either going to work out a trade for Dwight Freeney, which would seem like a long shot because I can't see the Colts trading him in the division, or hope they hit it out of the park in the draft. That is a scary proposition with the risky pass rushers that will be on the board at #20.

You can now resume the watching game that is the Peyton Manning sweepstakes.
