Don't be surprised if the Falcons cut WR Peerless Price this offseason. Price has not played up to the big contract the Falcons gave him when he was acquired from the Bills two years ago, and Price's attitude has not endeared him to teammates and coaches. There is a school of thought that says eliminating Price would be addition by subtraction. Cutting him would not come without a price, however. If the Falcons let him go after June 1, they would take cap hits of $1.7 million this season and $5.7 million in 2006. Cutting him before then would cost the team a whopping $7.4 million in cap space in 2005, or $3.8 million more than keeping him would cost. If the Falcons retain Price, he will have been saved by his contract. . .
Peerless to be cut?

I think Peerless was put into a horrible situation in Atlanta...
1. I do not think he is/was capable of being the dominant reciever on his own that the falcons seemed to think that he could be. Price is a great number 2 reciever who can play against the #2 corner on any team in the league but when he is left on his own..he becomes silent and cannot beat his man.
2. Vick does not throw the ball..Price was never really given a shot to catch 100 plus ball a year because that is just not the style of offense that the Falcons play when Vick is in the pocket.
I think that if Price can find himself in a better situation with a strong reciever on the other side of the field to compliment his abilities he will be able to put up the numbers that he did in buffalo. I can see him in a Vikes uniform next season with all the extra cash they seem to have around. He is a very good player and will probably make the Falcons look stupid again!

Bledsoe to Price always worked.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
