Todd Bowles: Buccaneers Aren't Trading Devin White

Apr 25, 2023 7:40 AM

Devin White requested a trade on April 11 in hopes of facilitating a long-term deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Soon after, Jason Licht said that the linebacker has "done some great things for us as a player and we look forward to more from him in the future, so he's on our team."

Todd Bowles took things a step further on Monday.

"We've got him for another year like Jason said," Bowles said. "We discussed it. We're not trading him, and we'll go from there. It's the offseason right now, and nothing counts. We expect him to be there when the season starts."

White is scheduled to make $11.706 million on his fifth-year option, the team can fine him for every day he misses during training camp.

Buccaneers GM: 'No Intention' Of Trading Devin White

Apr 14, 2023 12:34 PM

Jason Licht says the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have "no intention" of trading Devin White despite the linebacker requesting that the team trade him. 

"We all have all the respect in the world for Devin," the Buccaneers general manager said. "He's done some great things for us and we look forward to more from him in the future. ... If he has the type of year we think he's capable of, we can hopefully put this to rest and everybody's happy.

"This isn't something I'm holding against Devin. I still feel he's a tremendous person. I would never say he's not the type of teammate we want because of this."

A source told ESPN this week that White is "fed up," with a second source saying White's frustrations stem from negotiations on a contract extension.
