Former Atlanta wide receiver Peerless Price was released today. A few years ago he was brought in to revitalize the Falcons by being a big play threat. Price potential never materialized because he just is not a number one wide out at the NFL level.

In college at the University of Tennessee, Peerless Price appeared to be bigger than life, in comparison to his height of 5 feet, 9 inches. Yet as time has passed by we have realized that his college quarterback Peyton Manning was the real deal not only at Tennessee but also in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts. In the pros, Price enjoyed success with the Buffalo Bills because of his prolific wide receiver teammate, Eric Moulds. In all, Peerless Price made the mistake of thinking he was a number one receiver in the NFL. He is a good player, but the amount of money Atlanta paid to him did not justify his production, therefore they cut him. Price will rebound.
