Roddy White's holdout is over
The Atlanta Falcons and wide receiver Roddy White have agreed to terms on a contract extension that will end his holdout, according to Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“We’re always going to be an organization that rewards players for being productive on the field and good citzens off of it,” said Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff. “We are glad to get this contract situation resolved and look forward to a long association with Roddy.”
Per ESPN, White's six-year extension is worth $50 million, of which $18 million is guaranteed. White, the Falcons' first-round pick in 2005, is now the league's third-highest paid receiver behind Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald and Carolina's Steve Smith.
White had been a holdout since July 31st.
Last year, White earned his first trip to the Pro Bowl and set a franchise record for receiving yards (1,382).
