Roddy White

The end never goes well for most players. It's great when they can decide to walk away from the game. Others are forced to deal with it because no team wants them even if they are a star.

We saw that with Falcons WR Roddy White this week who announced his retirement after sitting out the 2016 season. In spite of being the Falcons all-time leader in receptions, yards receiving and touchdown catches, the decision was made for him.

He became a victim of a system where teams are looking to go younger and cheaper. His career ended with 808 passes for 10,863 yards and 63 TD's. The career of the former first round pick in the 2005 draft ended at 35.
