According to Jenna Laine, two sources have informed her Buccaneers LB Devin White has requested a trade.
Others have since confirmed the report, including Adam Schefter. He adds Tampa Bay does not want to grant White’s request at this time.
Jeremy Fowler reports White has been frustrated with how contract talks with the team have been going. One of Laine‘s sources said White was “fed up” with the team, though they didn’t specify the source of his frustrations.
