Hope not, unless it's a super cheap deal.
Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
Yep, same feeling I have about him.
Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
If David retires and White moves on, that’ll be an interesting position going forward. Those guys played like 99% of the snaps at times the last few years.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
Him just being on the team will incentivize Bowles to put him in the game. So I don't care if it's cheap

My guess is Dallas will sign him.

They play a 4-2-5 where Markquese Bell comes down to play the Mike? Is it because you think that Mike Zimmer will want a traditional MLB? And if so why White?

White is an animal shooting the A gap. He doesn’t have the physical attributes or the technique to be rushed everywhere tho.kaimaru wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2024 9:10 pmIsn't that one of the best parts of Parson's game? Just seems unneededuscbucsfan1 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2024 8:11 pm

He’s an interesting chess piece if you deploy him properly. If not a little predictable.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
He is on delayed blitzes. Is he standing up at the line or does he rely on that A gap opening up?
Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
In the playoffs against Detroit, Devin White played less than 20% of defensive snaps.
We have expensive dudes to pay, and Devin ain't gonna be one of them. I wish him best in his future endeavors.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
Some team will pay him and probably move him from ILB to edge.
Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
I don't know if he will or not. All I know is we'd better have a contingency in place. And no it ain't KJ Britt.
@Cheb mentioned how DW played less than 20% of snaps vs Detroit. Britt got those snaps and the Lions exploited that. Britt had by far the worst game that he's started.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
KJ Britt was a massive upgrade to White on the field last season. The Detriot game wasn't good for him, but it wasn't for White when he was in, either.Bootz wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 9:06 am I don't know if he will or not.

Not really..Britt is a liability in coverage and completely useless as a blitzer.uscbucsfan1 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 10:04 amKJ Britt was a massive upgrade to White on the field last season.

DW at his best was a difference maker.
Britt at his best is JAG, maybe more.
OBP needs to get better if they want to take the next step on defense. He ain't it.

Raise your hand if you would sign KJ Britt to what Devin White was asking for.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
No one would sign LVD to what White was asking for. He wanted more than Roquan or any LB in the NFL. How is this relevant?
It doesn't mean Britt isn't the better player. Britt is and was better than White. I'm not sure there is any debating that.
Does that mean Britt is a star? Absolutely not, but having him means it's not a necessity to upgrade the LB spot.

That's where we strongly disagree. You absolutely upgrade from a player who on his best day would be top 40 at the position. We don't necessarily need a star, but we need a guy who has the potential to make plays. Britt doesn't do that. He'll make tackles down the field but he's not a consistent force. That Lions game was a sign of things to come. They picked out the weak link and kept abusing it.
It should be noted that late in that game, DW replaced Britt on the field. I highly doubt OBP goes into 2024 with Britt penciled into a starting role.

Why would Devin White want to stay after he got benched several games? ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
I before team is a problem,
Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
I'd look at free agency. Patrick Queen, Frankie Luvu. My favorite might be Al-Shaair. He had a similar story to Shaq Barrett. Sat behind All-World types in ( Warner & Greenlaw) before going to Tennessee and making an impact.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
I voted 'no' but, honestly, he may very well be brought back solely because there isn't anyone better at his position on the roster right now (sorry, Britt, but that includes you). And, since he's a free agent himself, they might not want to chance that they can find his replacement in free agency or the draft.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
I'm really shocked that anyone would say White was better than Britt this year. Not only was it talked about throughout the games here, about the defense being better/more sound with Britt in the game, White was benched for Britt and only brought back in on pure pass plays against Detriot, but basically every publication/advanced metric had Britt being the better player in almost every snap, even when Britt struggled against Detriot, it wasn't White level bad.
Sure, there are absolutely upgrades to both. Again, Britt is super average as a LB, below average against the pass, but White is bad in both and without his pass rushing/pass rushing threat, he's terrible at football, but an athletic freak.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
That's because we've seen KJ Britt at his best and Devin White at his best. No one is going to make a valid case that KJ Britt at his best is better than Devin White.uscbucsfan1 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 1:54 pm I'm really shocked that anyone would say White was better than Britt this year.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
Devin White at his best consist of a run in the playoffs 3+ years ago and a single game last year.
The rest of the time White is the worse player than Britt. The defense played better with Britt than White.
That's like saying you would rather have Nick Foles over Baker or Cousins, because Foles peak was so much better.
Again, this isn't some crazy opinion. The coaching staff, other fans, advanced analytics, and sports writers agree with me.

In this case Foles would be Britt, since he took over for a starter.....And I would rather have Baker or Cousins than Foles.uscbucsfan1 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 2:20 pmDevin White at his best consist of a run in the playoffs 3+ years ago and a single game last year.

Make a case for Britt that goes beyond he's better than Devin White.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
No... You can't just reframe the analogy.
The example of Foles is that he's a bad QB that had a magical run. White is a bad LB that had a magical run.
Britt isn't great, but the team around him did better when he played and he was a replacement to White. Do we want to commit to him long term? Debatable, but I'd pick him over White every day of the week.
Devin White is one of the bottom 5 LB in the NFL who flashes talent of a top 10 LB...rarely. He was benched because of this.

Re: Will Devin White be a Buccaneer next season?
He's dirt cheap.
So he's the better player and he's cheaper.
I get if you don't want to run with him, but to say you'd want to re-sign White because Britt isn't the guy is crazy.
He's verifiably better than White...and cheaper. If you don't like either, there are other options.
