<p><strong>BUFORD</strong> – The mood was light on the final day of the Falcons’ players-only workout, which has become known as “Camp Exile” during the NFL’s player lockout.</p>
<p>All-Pro wide receiver <strong>Roddy White</strong> shifted over to defense and played a little cornerback. However, he didn’t appear ready to become the franchise’s next two-way player.</p>
<p>He got beat on a couple of routes up the sideline and across the middle.</p>
<p>“It’s was very fun,” wide receiver <strong>Julio Jones </strong>said. “Roddy White is a great athlete. He came out and played a little corner and receiver. I got him one time in the end zone.”</p>
<p>We had <strong>Matt Ryan</strong> wrap up the camp from the offense’s perspective yesterday. The plan was to get middle linebacker <strong>Curtis Lofton</strong> to talk about the defense today. But Lofton, who’d been the “coach” for the defense, had to see a knee specialist in Cleveland, Ohio and missed the last session.</p>
<p>So instead of Lofton, we got Pro Bowl cornerback &#0133;</strong></p></p>]]></description>

<p>While the offensive line could be decimated by free agency,  Falcons running back <strong>Jason Snelling</strong> may also be a hot commodity in free agency.</p>
<p>With just four years needed to reach unrestricted status, Snelling would be free to negotiation with all 32 teams if that proposal is ratified in a new collective bargaining agreement.</p>
<p>Snelling has served as <strong>Michael Turner’s</strong> main backup for the last two seasons. Snelling talked with <strong>Mike Florio</strong> of <strong><a href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/22/jason-snelling-pleased-with-cba-progress/">ProFootballTalk on Wednesday and left the door open for a possible return to the Falcons.</a></strong></p>
<p>“I’m going to talk to the Falcons,” Snelling said. “They are the team that drafted me. I love the organization. I love my teammates and my staff. But I have to &#0133;</p>]]></description>

<p>In a family violence hearing, the case against Falcons cornerback <strong>Christopher Owens</strong> was dismissed in Superior Court  of Gwinnett  County on Wednesday, according to <strong>Randall M. Kessler</strong>, Owens’ attorney.</p>
<p>Owens and <strong>Latia Terry</strong>, 22, of Lawrenceville, have a 9-month-old child together. She alleged that her apartment was ransacked and that some personal items were destroyed on June 12.</p>
<p>Owens contended that that Terry was not happy with their relationship and was seeking “revenge.”</p>
<p>“He’s is pleased that she decided to dismiss the case,” Kessler said. “He looks forward to working with her to raise their son together.”</p>
<p>Owens and Terry agreed to work together to establish parental rights and shared parenting time.</p>
<p>According to a Gwinnett County police incident report, Terry told officers that she left her apartment at 11 p.m. on Sunday, June 12, and when she returned home late Monday &#0133;</p>]]></description>
