Nine-year veteran cornerback Donnie Abraham, who has wavered throughout the spring on his future and sat out much of the New York Jets' offseason conditioning program as he deliberated whether he wanted to return for 2005, has decided to retire. Abraham, 31, informed Jets officials of his decision within the past few days. Reacting to Abraham's decision, the Jets on Thursday acquired third-year veteran corner Pete Hunter from the Dallas Cowboys for a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2006 draft. New York also is in discussions with free agent cornerback Ty Law, formerly of the New England Patriots, and the Jets might now be the front-runner to secure the four-time Pro Bowl performer. Jets officials have stayed in touch with Law and his representatives over the last few months and the level of discussions has escalated a bit. Law's agents are also speaking with other clubs, notably the Jacksonville Jaguars, but no team has yet offered a deal commensurate to what the 10-year veteran is seeking.
