    Price Must Earn Roster Spot

    -- Price Must Earn Roster Spot --

    The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports WR Peerless Price will not be released or traded before Falcons training camp begins July 25, but the wide receiver will have to earn a starting job — and even a roster spot — HC Jim Mora and president and GM Rich McKay said Monday. "I'm excited to give him a chance to compete to make the team and to improve along with the rest of the players," Mora said. "I know there's been speculation about Peerless and about his future here but, as an organization, we've decided that we want to see him compete and help this team be a better football team. That is the truth." Releasing Price would cost Atlanta $5.7 million against its salary cap next season because the remaining cap figure of his $10 million signing bonus would be accelerated. However, that potential hit does not appear to be the sole reason for keeping Price, because he could still be cut during the preseason if he doesn't perform to standards. Price's experience and the lack of experience among the wideouts — WR Dez White and WR Brian Finneran are the only other wide receivers with more than two years in the NFL — factored into the decision.

    "...there was one constant, one center, one captain, one Original Raider...his name was Jim Otto, his number was 00...for more than a full decade, he was the standard of excellence by which centers were judged in professional football"...

    They should say that about their "RB" Mike Vick/Ron Mexico. Just a RB that can throw - sometimes.
