Falcons WR White agrees to extension, ends holdout
After holding out for the first week of training camp, receiver Roddy White has agreed to a contract extension with the Atlanta Falcons.
The team announced the deal Saturday.
White set a franchise record with 1,382 receiving yards last season, ranking fourth in the NFL, and earned his first Pro Bowl appearance. He became the first Falcons receiver in a decade to post back-to...

Here are some links for you to check out on this lazy Sunday.
- Roddy White ends his holdout after agreeing to a new six-year, $50 million contract extension with the Atlanta Falcons. White had an unexpectedly huge year last year and parlayed that into this big contract. We'll see if he can live up to his end of the bargain.

Falcons don't lose clout in White holdout
The Atlanta Falcons want to improve holdout Roddy White's contract,
just not at the terms the receiver is demanding. Pete Prisco says sitting
out is not a good move, something White knows -- and so do the Falcons.
Wide Out?
First things first. I am excited that Football Season is upon us.
Apparently Roddy White of the Falcons and Michael Crabtree of the 49ers do not share my sentiments. Both of these guys are holding out due to, you guessed it, money.
For these guys to be receivers, they are catching some bad advice from advisers/agents/entourages/baby [...]
White back at practice for Falcons
Roddy White was back at practice for the Atlanta Falcons after ending an eight-day holdout.
Atlanta Falcons: A Happy Ending...Now, Let's Move On
Well, now that that's over with ...
Seriously, the Falcon faithful were beginning to wonder if this franchise's attempt at an historic two-consecutive-winning-season quest was over before the team ever took to the field for a real game.
Roddy White holds out. Harry Douglas goes down. Both White and the Falcons appear to be digging in ever deeper, on both sides.
And then....
Not so bad after all
Given the deal the Falcons just gave Roddy White (6 years, $50 million, $18.6 million guaranteed) and the Cardinals gave Larry Fitzgerald (4 years, $40 million) last offseason, suddenly the 6-year, $42 million ($16 million guaranteed) for Bernard Berrian doesn't seem so bad. Certainly, Berrian's not in Fitzgerald's (who seems dramatically underpaid) league, but he might...
2009 NFL Preview: Atlanta Falcons
It’s not happening again. The Falcons are not going 11-5. They are not making the playoffs. The schedule’s too difficult, a below-average defense lost its best LB (Brooking), the secondary’s too young, and Roddy White’s holdout, coupled with No. 3 receiver Harry Douglas being lost for the season has the team scrambling for alternative options [...]
