The White Move

It has been talked about. It has been suggested. It makes sense and would be a good fit, so why not? Let’s bring Roddy White in.

As I said earlier in this, a veteran wide receiver is a young quarterback’s best friend. Without Vincent Jackson, the Bucs are lacking in that regard. Louis Murphy is a veteran, but he is not a guy that I would count on. He just doesn’t have that history. With 808 catches to his credit, White is a player that the Bucs could count on. He is only two years removed from an 80 catch season (2014).

He has a nose for the end zone, with 63 career touchdown receptions. He’s a veteran that won’t be the type they will sign long-term, so they can still draft and develop a younger player. Jason Licht, make the move.
