Scott Reynolds of the PewterReport.com reports that the Buccaneers will pick up LB Devin White‘s fifth-year option.
Not a big surprise here, considering that White has been an impact player in the middle of the Buccaneers’ defense.
The option would run the Buccaneers $11.374 million fully guaranteed for the 2023 season, per OverTheCap.com.
Teams have until May 2 to officially exercise options on 2019 first-round picks.
White, 24, was selected by the Buccaneers with the No. 5 overall pick out of LSU in 2019. He signed a four-year, $29,315,818 rookie contract that includes $19,340,596 signing bonus.
In 2021, White appeared in all 17 games for the Buccaneers and recorded 128 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and three pass deflections.
