He would have made one less question mark along the DL.
Probably wanted to start, oh well.
probably wanted to coast into retirement with no expectations on him and no worries that he would be on a team competing for a league title with the spotlight shining brightly down upon him

Patriots needed to be able to move the money forward into the 3453 season.
Winning the Division shouldn't be the concern, it should be the Playoffs. At least the team has the opportunity to see out the development of its players and the team. We really need key rostered players to improve significantly in 2013.I think Brady will still be playing at a high level during that season. With him under center, we're pretty much a lock to win the division.
I think it came down to playing time. Abraham has maintained he wanted to play somewhere where he could get about 70% of the reps. He wasn't getting it in New England. He is an immediate starter in Arizona.
I am thinking this wasn't as much about money as playing time. Several teams looked at him, but none were looking at him as a full time player (at least it didn't seem like they were). Abraham would have been a rotational guy here.
I personally figured it was a very good chance he would end up here with the lack of interest from a team that could use him as a full time starter, but I never expected a team like the Cardinals (especially since he hasn't really played in a 3-4 all that much) to step in with a starting job.

Arizona gave John Abraham a two-year deal.
No disrespect to your opinion Brady6 but do you seriously believe that a team Quarterbacked by the Carception is going to be a productive Playoff team? Sure, he'll put up some gaudy numbers and probably rejuvenate Larry Fitzgerald (the clear standout receiver in the league behind Megatron) but Palmer finds a way to turn the football over at the most inopportune times.Don't sleep on Arizona, if Palmer and Fitzgerald can get on the same page they could be a very competitive team, their defense is going to be very good.
