Multiple teams remain interested in former Falcons defensive end John Abraham. Including, reportedly, the Falcons.

According to Mike Garafolo of USA Today, the Falcons have remained in contact with Abraham since cutting him before the start of the 2013 league year in March. Abraham, however, has told the Falcons he won’t be returning.

It’s not a surprise. Last year, Abraham signed a three-year deal with the Falcons, and the Falcons tore it up after only one season. Even if the Falcons are offering more than any other team, it’s less than what he was due to make before he was cut -- and that could make it difficult for Abraham as a matter of principle to return.

Abraham reportedly could sign with the Titans soon. Coincidentally, the Titans were one of the other suitors for Abraham when he opted last year to stay with the Falcons.
