Cardinals add Abraham

Former Falcons defensive end John Abraham has agreed to a reported 2-year, $6 million deal to join the Arizona Cardinals.

The Falcons' all-time sack leader visited the Cardinals on Wednesday and agreed to terms Thursday, CBSSports.com reported.

The Falcons released Abraham in March, one year into a three-year contract signed last season. The Dolphins, Titans and Patriots all reportedly met with Abraham with an interest to sign him this offseason.

Abraham, who had 19.5 sacks over the last two seasons in Atlanta, was replaced on the Falcons' roster by free agent Osi Umenyiora.
