Finding a replacement for Roddy White appears to be atop the Atlanta Falcons' list of offseason priorities.
The Falcons have inquired about impending free-agent receiver Travis Benjamin of the Cleveland Browns, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports, citing a source.
Benjamin rose to the occasion upon receiving the most substantial workload of his four-year career in 2015, emerging as one of the few playmakers in an otherwise underwhelming Browns offense.
He started in all but one regular-season game, hauling in 68 receptions for 966 yards and five touchdowns.
If signed, the 26-year-old would almost certainly take on a role as the No. 2 receiver opposite perennial Pro Bowl talent Julio Jones.
