> Speaking for the first time publicly since requesting a trade this offseason, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Pro Bowl linebacker Devin White said Monday, "I got a little selfish," but he has returned with a positive attitude and is focusing on the 2023 season. > > "I don't think there's no regret," White said when asked about the request. "I don't think it's just about being paid. It's just about being a guy who was drafted here, and doing a lot for this program. Just want to be the long-term guy, you know, just want to be a guy like Lavonte [David]. He was — he been here forever. I wanted to be that next guy, and you know — we just didn't make it happen when I wanted to. > > "And that's why I kind of got a little selfish, even knowing I still had the fifth-year option and that was a thing in place. And I mean, I guess early on, you don't realize that. You just know, like, 'Hey, I'm at the end of my contract — let's get it in. Lock me in. I know I feel comfortable here.’”
