Roddy White has interest, but wants more than the minimum

Some say that receiver Roddy White’s expression of reluctance to sign with a non-contender means he has no viable options anywhere. That’s apparently not the case.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, White was — and still is — on the radar in Tennessee. But he won’t accept a minimum-salary offer. Andre Johnson did, which is why he was recently signed.

But with Johnson’s deal not guaranteed, the Titans can kick tires and, if they decide he can’t truly help the team, move on. Possibly back to White.

Other teams to watch for White include the obvious dot-connection to the Buccaneers, where former Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter is the head coach.

Regardless of where White ends up, it’s apparently going to take more than the one-year veteran minimum to make it happen. Before a team gets to the point where it’s willing to pay that much, it likely will need to evaluate what it currently has.

  1. nobody can be that interested – sorry roddy – you’ll be LUCKY to get minimum – take it and be happy that your sorry, oft injured ass has a job that you don’t have to show up for every day to get paid -geez…

  2. Uhm, Buffalo. If we go through camp and do not kick tires on Rowdy Roddy White, I will be disappointed. He can still bring it, and a crafty ‘ole vet on the outside to allow Sammy and Woods to do their thing would be great. Injuries may force their hand. Cap space may be the issue, though.

  3. White should come to Tampa. The beaches and strip clubs plus a minimum contract is better than playing for a minimum contract in some hole like Cleveland or Tennessee

    Absolutely not. This Buc fan would rather have the racist, Riley Cooper. Roddy is done….and have been for a few years now.

  5. The Bucs already have an old Pro-Bowl WR, Vincent Jackson. Why would you bring in a second old WR to work with 22 year old Jameis Winston?

    Though Roddy White sounds like an upgrade, if he has lost his legs and if it keeps a 3rd WR behind Mike Evans and VJ from developing with the young Jameis, it isn’t a good fit.

    The Bucs need a speed receiver to stretch the field. signing Roddy and not finding that guy isn’t the right option, imho.

    I used to live in FL. Tampa can’t compete with Nashville as far as cities go. The beaches can be nice, but the people, well they pretty much suck.
