Roddy White Profile

Atlanta Falcons WR Roddy White missed a third straight training camp practice on Monday and remains on the team's Reserve/Did Not Report list.

White, who is on the final year of his rookie contract, is coming off of a career-high 88 receptions a year ago, and is believed to be seeking a contract extension.

While it's not known what amount White is seeking, some league observers believe White wants at least as much if not more than the three-year, $26.25 million extension that Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings signed in June. That deal averages $8.75 million per season. Jennings became the fifth highest paid receiver in the NFL on an average per year basis. According to a league source, Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith, who had his contract adjusted back in late February, is the highest paid receiver in the league on an average per year basis at $10.9 million. Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald is second at $10 million.
