If wide receiver Roddy White had to make a bet about where he’d be during the 2016 season, he would “bet every dollar I had that I’m going to be a Falcon.”

That same certainty hasn’t been expressed by the team after a season that saw White drop in the offensive pecking order and share his frustration with the direction the offense was taking. White is due to make $4.25 million in salary and bonus this year and said he’s not going to take a pay cut, which has left open the possibility that his long run in Atlanta could come to an end.

White said it would be a “tragedy” if things played out that way, although he admitted he doesn’t have any knowledge either way.

“No, I haven’t spoken to anybody,” White said, via the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “I haven’t been given clarity about anything.”

White said he thought maybe “the bridge just broke down” between him and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan in 2015 because they had different expectations about White’s role in the offense. He reiterated that he’d like to have a bigger one, but that “you have to enjoy and embrace the role you have.”

We should know fairly soon whether White will be embracing his role in Shanahan’s offense again next season or if he’ll be trying to rebound from “tragedy” in another uniform.
