The Atlanta Falcons star quarterback Michael Vick had an MRI Wednesday on his right throwing shoulder in order for the team?s new medical staff to get an update on the recovery of the injury suffered last season. With no damage found, Vick was pronounced to be in good health and has not complained of any discomfort in the Dolphins minicamp.

Atlanta Falcons Running Back Warrick Dunn was named Sporting News?s #1 Good Guy on Monday. "This has been one of the best years of my life," he said, alluding not only to reaching the NFC Championship Game with the Falcons in January, but being honored by the NFL weeks later when he was given the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. "I'm blessed. These things don't come around often. A lot of what I do is because of my mom [the late Betty Smothers, a former Baton Rouge police officer killed in an off-duty shooting in 1993]. Six kids, and $36,000 [in salary]. It was like she always said, 'If I can do something for you, can you do something for someone else? Pass it on."

Peerless Price is back in the Atlanta Falcons camp and will have a chance to earn a roster spot and maybe even a starting job at wide receiver. "I'm excited to give him a chance to compete to make the team and to improve along with the rest of the players," Mora said. "I know there's been speculation about Peerless and about his future here but, as an organization, we've decided that we want to see him compete and help this team be a better football team. That is the truth." Price is in the third year of a seven-year, $42 million contract. Each previous year saw the wide receiver perform well below the Falcons expectations. "He's had a nice offseason in general, and we expect him to come in and compete in camp," McKay said. "We don't expect a change in plans between now and then. We hadn't from the beginning, but we do understand there's been a lot of chatter surrounding him because he was a high-priced free agent with some pretty high expectations."

The Atlanta Falcons confirmed on Friday that they have indeed fired team vice president Ron Hill. Team spokesman Reggie Roberts confirmed that Hill was let go on Tuesday. Hill had maintained a declining role for the team under president and general manager Rich McKay up to his firing.
