INDIANAPOLIS — The Falcons have not made a decision on wide receiver Roddy White's future with the team, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday.
“Not yet,” Quinn said as to whether the team had made a final decision. “He’s somebody that we certainly know that we have a lot of respect and admiration for. As we are building this team together, he and some other players go on to that line. We’re not into that decision yet. When we do regarding team-building processes, we’ll fill you guys in.”
White, the Falcons' all-time leading receiver, is under contract for the next two seasons. His production dropped dramatically last season.
White said it would be a “tragedy” if didn’t finish his career with the Falcons.
The Falcons have waived four players, including safety William Moore and linebacker Justin Durant. The team also is parting ways with defensive tackle Paul Soliai. Quinn advised that it wouldn’t be prudent to read into those moves that White is safe.
“We’re still in the process of everything that we’re going through,” Quinn said. “Not, just with Rod. Every year, we’re going through this team finding ways that we are going to do it and build it all together. I wouldn’t read into it one way or another. We are just going through the process.”
DEVANEY TO NEBRASKA: Former Falcons player personnel scout Billy Devaney left the team to accept a job with the University of Nebraska.
Devaney, who was formerly the general manager of the St. Louis Rams, was named as Nebraska’s executive director of player personnel and special assistant to the head coach Mike Riley
