    A source told FOXSports.com that wide receiver Brian Finneran and cornerback Brian Williams will not be re-signed as Falcons have informed both players of the decision as they head toward the free-agent market. Only center Todd McClure, a 12-year veteran, has spent more time on Atlanta's current roster than the 35-year-old Finneran. He caught 236 passes for 3,072 yards and 19 touchdowns in 11 seasons. Williams, 31, had served primarily as Atlanta's nickel cornerback in 2010 before being sidelined by a knee injury entering the postseason. His presence was missed in Atlanta's playoff loss to Green Bay as Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of 36 passes for 366 yards and three touchdowns.
