Bucs LB Devin White requests a trade

[xwalker]

I live in Tampa, the answer to the "why now" is that he told the team he wants a 5 year $100 million extension and the Bucs said no. If anything he has been the defintion of inconsistent the last two years. Today on local radio they were talking about his lack of effort and "business decisions" in last years Ravens game to highlight the issues they have been having with him. They may want to keep him but not at that value and given his play the last two years not sure he will get anything close to that. This is going to be a prove it year for him with the Bucs. A lot of talent, but doesn't play up to it.

Bucs’ Devin White won’t answer for his performance vs. Ravens​

Edit: was $100 million, not $20 million, sorry.

His cost for 2023 will be 11.7M because he is on the 5th year option.

Stephen Jones will do the trade if the Bucs pay 11.69M of the contract...

If we somehow land him it's game over for every one.

Don't worry, we won't land him

Bucs won’t trade him for less than a high-mid first rounder. He may move to a team in the 12-16 range of the draft that’s targeting ILB. Hopefully the Eagles or Giants don’t trade for him.

Runor is a 3rd and a later pick swap. IF they trade him

 

[Loso86]

He's overrated

And still better than our LBs not Parsons

 

[Joe Realist]

This could be an eagles move

While I agree that Smith is at least as good as White, it’s a different scenario completely. The Bears had a fire sale and traded multiple players last season for discount prices. The Bucs haven’t given any indication they want to trade White. On the contrary, I’d imagine he’s one of the pieces they really want to keep.

Agree with pretty much everything. I just think his price point is too high for them. Or else they would have signed him after last season.

Players are using alternate means to get their point across because the league made it almost impossible to hold out.

Left to die in the who gives a crap zone.

Where it deserves to die. White, a 45 PFF score player on a dying planet of a team, the Bucs.

Do want to thank the OP for bringing this trade demand to our attention.

Right, reading one of their fan boards… they were critical of his play when David wasn’t on the field and with his coverage ability. Most didn’t think he was worth anything close to what he’s asking and weren’t too opposed to him leaving…
