You’d expect a top 5 draft pick to stick around longer than his rookie deal, but Devin White didn’t quite pan out for Tampa and now leaves a talent gap for the Buccaneers.
Lavonte David is still elite as ever and returns for his age-34 season, but he’s firmly year-to-year and will only be around for so long. The Bucs received a pleasant surprise from K.J. Britt, who essentially forced the team to bench White late in the season and played very well, opening up the possibility of him becoming a full-time starter.
The team also drafted Sir’Vocea Dennis in 2023 and didn’t get him much run, so he could be up for a snap uptick as well.
