The Atlanta Falcons, last seasons NFL darlings in a near worst to first turnaround are already showing the signs of this year not being quite as smooth. For those who don't know, they parlayed a chaotic 2007 into a Playoff berth in 2008. The thing that most folks in Atlanta and for that matter the NFL are waiting to see. Whether they can have back to back winning seasons. Something believe it or not, they have never done.
Well, we are about 1 week in to Training Camp and already...we've got injuries and holdouts. This morning, the news on #3 receiver Harry Douglas, (seen here courtesy Celebritycity.com) was not good. The story from ajc.com here . And as an added bonus...this years 2nd round pick William Moore goes down in practice today...though he isn't expected to miss the year. More on that again from ajc.com here .
All of this makes the case of holdout Wide Receiver Roddy White interesting. White who has been among the best WR's in the league the past 2 seasons wants a new deal, he still has a year to go on his rookie deal which pays him about 2.25 million, White and his agent are looking for more, significantly more.
