On Tuesday, a report surfaced on ESPN stating that Tampa Bay Buccaneers inside linebacker Devin White has requested a trade. Since then, I have received a few emails asking if I think the Pittsburgh Steelers could and should trade for White, a former first-round draft selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. I figured there were enough people interested in the subject that I should post about it.
For starters, White seems to be unhappy with how contract extension talks with the Buccaneers are going right now. In fact, Jenna Laine of ESPN wrote on Tuesday that White is now increasingly frustrated with the team and is “fed up” with how things have gone so far this offseason, presumably as it relates to his contract situation.
