It's been two months since the Falcons released dynamic wide receiver Roddy White.

There has been little said about where the Falcons all-time pass catcher would be suiting next season.

White, 34, amassed 808 catches, 10,863 yards and 63 touchdowns over 11 seasons with the Falcons. He had just 43 receptions for 506 yards and 1 touchdown in his final season in Atlanta. 

The Bleacher Report offers one possible landing spot, the Minnesota Vikings. Here's why:

Led by two-year pro Teddy Bridgewater, the Minnesota Vikings have a young and inexperienced passing attack. The team was led by rookie wideout Stefon Diggs last season with just 52 catches, good for 720 yards and four touchdowns. The club also features 26-year-old Jarius Wright, who caught 34 passes but didn't reach the end zone in 2015. There's also 27-year-old Charles Johnson (nine catches in 11 games this past season) and 2013 first-round pick Cordarrelle Patterson, whose specialty is kickoff returns.

Now add in a pair of rookies in Laquon Treadwell, the first-round pick from Ole Miss, and Moritz Boehringer—the latter with no college playing experience.

Some more food for thought. Vikings wide receivers coach, George Stewart, was White's first position coach when he was drafted by the Falcons in 2004.
