Falcons are expected to give Roddy White a pretty nice pay day soon

The Atlanta Falcons are expected to give Roddy White a pretty penny pretty soon according to Ian Rapoport.  White was expected to be working on a new contract extension in the ball park of Brandon Marshall’s new three year deal worth around 30 million, but he when his brother Tyron Moore Jr. was shot and killed in mid-May the contract talks slowed down.

The belief is a deal will be done by training camp, rather than this spring. The Falcons wanted to focus on free agency and the draft before turning their attention to their own players and their contracts.

Roddy White could get contract extension by training camp, per @RapSheet

This will be a very good deal for the Falcons, because he is still young.  The smartest thing the Falcons can do is keep their main pieces in place.  By doing this the team will continue to grow.
