    For teams still on the hunt for free-agent pass-rushing help, John Abraham sits out there as the best of the bunch.

    NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the defensive end will visit the Arizona Cardinals, per a league source. Abraham was released by the Falcons in March after seven productive seasons in Atlanta, but he's bound to find work as training-camp injuries mount.

    The 35-year-old Abraham drew open-market interest this spring from the New England Patriots, Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, among others, but he reportedly sought a paycheck that teams weren't willing to float for an edge rusher on the wrong side of 30.

    The Cardinals make some sense, but Abraham would be operating out of a 3-4 front in Arizona after spending years as the anchor of a four-man line with the Falcons.
