The Bucks have already been busy throughout the offseason to keep the team competitive while adhering to the salary cap. His one of those transactions was trading starting right guard Shaq Mason and a seventh-round pick to the Houston Texans for a sixth-round pick, saving the Bucks $5.272 million. Did. Can Tampa Bay trade another player before the draft, or is he even there during the three-day event itself?
Player trades are less common in the NFL than in other leagues. However, there were some eye-opening trades during last year’s draft as the Eagles acquired wide receiver AJ Brown and the Cardinals traded receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.

in an article from of CBS Sports Cody Benjamin, who compiled a list of 14 players who could be moved before or during the draft and has linebacker Devin White as a potential target. It was for one reason:
“White, a four-year starting pitcher for Tampa Bay, is an athletic freak who has been highly praised by coach Todd Bowles and posted flashy numbers for the position. As a player, he has the potential to earn near-record earnings despite his middling performances.Selling him would deprive the club of a defensive leader, but as the team prepares for Tom Brady’s post-transition. We will be saving $11.7 million immediately as we move forward.”
Why the Bucks won’t trade Devin White
It’s understandable that Bucs would argue that they could save more money in the future and get some value out of it, but it’s highly unlikely that this will happen. It’s more likely that Tampa Bay will try to sign an extension before even considering trading White.

Apart from this, Bucs Proved They Contend For Another NFC South Title This year, they re-signed cornerback Jamel Dean, outside linebacker Anthony Nelson and inside linebacker and team captain Labonte David. Why would Tampa Bay trade White after making those moves?
Tampa Bay doesn’t have the depth behind the two starters to move on from White. Many players just kick out another player because there is no reason to re-sign.
Devin White’s big season in contract year
Finally, White has had an inconsistent career with the Bucks, especially over the past two seasons. White is seeking a big deal when he hits free agency after this season, and Tampa Bay should use this year to determine if he’s worth investing in for the long term.
Trading White would force them to fill another hole in the roster instead of making them the main focus of next season if they go in a different direction. are gathering. It’s important that he plays at least one more season in Tampa Bay.
