Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff has not made a decision on releasing or retaining wide receiver Roddy White, the franchise’s all-time leading receiver who had a dramatic statistical drop off last season.

"Roddy is still under contract here," Dimitroff said.

The Falcons are scouting the wide receiver class for this draft heavily. They interviewed Ohio State wide receiver Braxton Miller at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

The team is also keeping an eye toward free agency.

Dimitroff signaled that moving forward, the team will continue to shop from the free agency discount store.

“Free agency moves, I think we’ve become more and more dialed in, especially with Dan (Quinn) to know what type of players that we are looking for (that fit) our scheme,” Dimitroff said.
