The Raiders opted to decline his fifth-year option for the 2023 season in April 2022. He was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2023 when the Raiders waived him midseason. He was claimed by the Packers before being waived and claimed by the Seahawks in November.
Abram signed a one-year deal with the Saints in March. After going back and forth from the practice squad in 2023, he signed another one-year deal with New Orleans in March 2024.
In 2023, Abram appeared in three games for the Saints and recorded eight tackles.
