White, 26, was a two-year starter at Georgia and led the team in rushing yards over his last two years at the school. The Raiders selected him in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. 

He finished a four-year, $4,403,930 rookie contract, including a $743,930 signing bonus and is an unrestricted free agent for the first time.
