Roddy White: Released by Falcons

Roddy White Highlights

The Falcons have released Roddy White .

Per ESPN.com, the release of White saves the Falcons $2,362,500 against their salary cap in 2016, but the departure of the 34-year-old wideout leaves a large void in the team"s pass-catching corps. The 2005 first-rounder, who caught 43 passes for 506 yards and a TD in 2015, will thus look to catch on elsewhere, with White"s 2016 fantasy prospects difficult to peg until his landing spot/role with his new team gain a degree of clarity.
