Breaking: #Bucs are cutting RB Leonard Fournette, per @TomPelissero
Spotrac reports it's a 6/1 designation. Saves $5M but adds $1.5M of dead cap to 2024.
Forget about trading White , will not happen , zero chance
they like him too much
Will he do it or will he will hold on to his failures and cripple the team long term.
Super Bowl = failures?
I swear to God, the honks on here (and the rest of social media) still fanboying Devin White are comical.
Honks ? Fanboys ?
what are you 12 ?
Licht has a way out with White, but not sure that Bowles will want him to go. I guess we will see

On a side note, if I was directing that at you, I would’ve tagged you.
The fact you’re so defensive speaks volumes.
One reason Bowles may stand in the way . . because of this from our very talented defense. . . ya know . . that was going to win us a Super Bowl in 2022:
"Bowles was specifically asked what his reaction would’ve been had someone told him before last season that Vea would go on to be his leading sacker. His response said a lot about the state of the team’s pass rush as it stands right now.
“I wouldn’t have believed you,” Bowles said. “This is the first 3-4 [defense] team I’ve been a part of where the outside linebackers have not led the team in sacks."

And, what does this have to do with White?

Bowles may not want to further "deplete" the D, lose the sacks, team leader etc.
I dont think White deserves the payday, but contracts often reflect the circumstances. GM's don't like to admit over-drafting mistakes, defensive coaches don't like to lose "leaders." Arians still in the building etc.
LVD is the “leader” of that defense. LVD is the LB that actually produces.
White is just a hype guy, who occasionally makes a splash play in between his overall abysmal body of work game after game.
As I said, much to the chagrin of our Charmin soft Byron fluffer, the honks and fanboys get psyched out after he makes a sack or occasional big hit.
But, then ignore the multiple TD’s he’ll give up in coverage the same game.
All flash, no substance.
My biggest fear is that we extend this clown and do so for huge money.
Would be a disastrous mistake by JL.
And, to be blunt, he shouldn’t give a shit what a lame duck HC wants or doesn’t want.
Will he do it or will he will hold on to his failures and cripple the team long term.

Licht has had successes and failures. What we're left with now is more failures. You (and Licht) can take the blue pill and keep living off those 2020 and 2021 seasons. Or you can take the red pill and realize this roster is loaded with bad contracts and the ones that are removable must be removed for the sake of the franchise, despite the negative impact it will have on Licht's body of work. White, Gage and Jensen count $39M against the cap. There is $21M in savings this year and $18M in savings next year by getting rid of them now.
Blue pill = dEr SuPeR bOwL
Red Pill = These are low impact players making outrageous money.

You can take both.
