Falcons Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Roddy White caught the Falcons off guard by holding out at the start of training camp. White missed the team's first full day of training camp because he wants a new contract following his Pro Bowl season.
The wide receiver missed the first six days of training camp as a rookie in 2005 before signing his current contract. He is in the final year of a five-year, $7.35 million deal and is due $2.28 million this season.
White was unsigned when he was late to camp in 2005. The Falcons' most-recent player under contract who did not report to training camp on time was running back Jamal Anderson in 1999.
"I'm confident things are going to get done, and they are going to work in the best interest of both the club and Roddy," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said.
