The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Reports:
The Falcons released safety Jimmy Williams Tuesday, parting with their top pick of the 2006 NFL Draft.
"It's a football decision," head coach Mike Smith said. "It's a decision we made. We've been evaluating."
"I knew it could get to this point, but I wasn't sure it would," Williams told the Daily Press in his hometown of
Hampton, Va. "They've been upset with my weight, but I didn't think the weight thing was a big issue. I
thought they were hiding behind that. Other than that, there weren't any real disputes between me and the
Falcons."

ajc.com Reports:
Michael Vick has been ordered to pay more than $2.5 million to the Royal Bank of Canada in a court order filed
Wednesday.
The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted a motion for summary judgment
against Vick for default and breach of a promisory note from Jan. 18, 2007.
Vick was found in default of $2,421,170.90. He also must pay interest of the rate of $499 per diem from Sept.
19, 2007 from May 7, 2008 — a total of 231 days and a sum of $115,269. The order also states that Vick must
pay the bank's attorneys' fees and costs in the amount of $11,950.97.
Royal Bank of Canada, which operates as RBC Centura in the United States, first sent a letter on Aug. 31, 2007
to Vick demanding repayment of a line of credit that he'd taken in January 2007 for a real estate venture. "Such
proceeds were not to be used primarily for personal, family or household purposes, " according to the loan.
The lawsuit claimed that Vick was in default of the loan for "numerous reasons," including that he failed to
promptly provide a semi-annual personal financial statement and disclosure of his liquid assets as required by
the loan.
