Roddy White had a shaky relationship with Atlanta Falcons' offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.

White was recently released by the Falcons.

"No, I ain't frustrated at all; it is what it is," White said. "That's just the NFL. Eventually, it's going to be your time. It's just according to when it happens.

"They showed no indication that I was going to be there, so I kind of expected it already. Like last year going through the whole situation, I knew I was going to be on the team because they said I was going to be on the team. But this year, they didn't say that. They never gave any clear indication I was going to be there. When there's no clarity early on about decisions like that, that means you already have a 50/50 chance, so I was just thinking to myself that it can only get worse."

White had a diminished role under Shanahan.

White expressed displeasure with his role, saying he did not want to be just a "blocker."

"What [Shanahan] expected from me and what I expected from him was totally different," White said. "I expected to play a bigger role in the offense, and that's what I wanted to do. But he didn't have that in his desires. He had other people that he wanted to play my role, so he wanted me to be out of the [offense]. That was the whole thing. And it is what it is. I can't do nothing about it. I can't change his way of thinking or anything like that. I can just do what I did, which was just handle my business and get myself prepared for this moment."
