Titans running back LenDale White is trying to say all the right things, even as his team bumbles through an eight-games-and-counting losing streak.
So why is LenDale being so positive? Because he's due to become a free agent after the season.
His plans for a possible payday include, we're told, hiring agent Drew Rosenhaus.
White signed a four-year deal as a rookie in 2006. Absent a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, 2010 will proceed without a salary cap -- and White and every other free agent with fewer than six years of service will not be unrestricted free agents.
White's production has dropped since the arrival of Chris Johnson. After rushing for more than 1,000 in his second season, White was limited to 773 yards in 2008. He scored 15 touchdowns, however, as the goal-line and short-yardage back.
This year, White has only 148 yards through six games, and one touchdown for the 0-6 Titans.
In order of most likely sucker:
1) Raiders
2) Redskins
3) Cowboys
4) Patriots
Lendale gets his crack ready for Free agency ?
There's a huge market out there for FAT ASS, mouthy, below average runningbacks. He should stay in Nashville, Never have two shittier things been so right for each other.
True that Lenwhale will probably be restricted due to no CBA... but what gives anybody the impression that the Titans would be willing to tender much more than the minimum for a player that is usually over-weight, a malcontent, slow,has no hands, and has an over-inflated opinion of himself?
Why is this even a marginal story? White is a restricted free agent. How many teams don't tender their backup running back? It's cheaper than bringing in a UFA.
So let me get this correct--there is the possibility that there will be no salary cap next year? That is disastrous to the integrity of the NFL. We will have a few Yankee-esque teams competing against a bunch of Baltimore Orioles. The salary cap is what has made the NFL such a competetive place and created such balance the past few years. Right now every team can beat any team any week. I'd hate to see this happen.
Will he be taking the "curse" with him?
Citizen Strange, grow a brain. Dallas' least productive RB is better than him, AND THEY HAVE 3! It ain't happenin. You can take them outta the mix.I think the RedSkins can use you though.

You could have said the exact same thing about the Cowboys trading for Roy Williams.

Redskins maybe, but not the other three. Not even Al Davis or Jerry Jones will see a need for White, and Belichick won't touch him.
"Belichick won't touch him."
Belichick shouldn't have touched:
1) Adalius Thomas
2) Joey Galloway
3) former Giants secretary Sharon Shenocca
There's a lot of doggin' of Lendale everywhere you turn, but the dude can run the ball. He's not a fat ass like he used to be and if given a shot he can get the ball up the field. He's not going to be able to show it though since the Titans are constantly in long-yardage situations. And when Collins and Young (no-talent ass clowns) are throwing the ball to guys like Justin Gage and Nate Washington, you know you are completely screwed. Even good players on the team are going to look like shit because of guys like those.
Anyone with a decent Harpoon could catch themselves Landwhale White.

I am no Titans fan, but didn't Lendale lose around 20 lbs during the offseason because he drinks like a whale - Tequila that is?
I will put my money on Dan Snyder snatching this guy up right after he overpays for Mike "I got outcoached by Josh McDaniels" Shannahan.
It would be great if no team signed him and he would leave the league.
He just sucks. Always has and always will
If I see Lendale White, I will remove my belt and whip him with it.
I'm 5'6" and 168#
The Madden curse you can shake off after a year.
The Curse of the Terrible Towel?
That stays with you for your career.
Oy!
