I am a big Ian Rapport fan, but this might be the most obvious piece of reporting ever. The talks are obviously in a stall because he hasn't signed with the team yet, and they obviously are not dead because he has not signed with another team.
In all seriousness, I still really hope the Titans are able to get something done with Abraham. It has been reported that the hold up from Abraham's side is more about playing time than money. As August and September get closer, John should realize that playing 30-35 snaps a game is better than playing 0 snaps per game.
Abraham would be nothing more than a situational player here, but the possibilities would be endless on third down if they are able to work out an agreement with him.
