The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off one of their best wins of the 2023 NFL season, with Baker Mayfield and company going into Lambeau Field on the road and beating the Green Bay Packers in convincing fashion.
The win over the Packers put the Buccaneers atop of the NFC South standings with the New Orleans Saints, setting up an epic battle in two weeks when they go head-to-head for what will likely be the division title and a trip to the NFL playoffs on the line.
With everything trending in the right direction for the Buccaneers right now, the last thing the team needs is any distractions that could potentially derail the team’s progress moving forward.
Unfortunately, it appears that Devin White might be that distraction right now, as he has become a problem due to his attitude, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.
Breaking: #Bucs Devin White said he “couldn’t go,’ and was made inactive but the team planned to start K.J. Britt at inside linebacker. I’m told White’s attitude has not sat well recently with some teammates and coaches. https://t.co/wO96K0TuAH

Although White is a talented player and an important part of what the Buccaneers do defensively, the team can obviously still win big games without him, and if he continues to have an attitude problem, they could shut him down for the season.
White has played in 11 games this season and has been relatively productive while on the gridiron, recording 2.0 sacks, an interception, and 39 solo tackles.
However, with the team competing for the NFC South division title and needing to be laser-focused from here on out, he’ll take a backseat if deemed to be a problem for the team in the final stretch of games for Tampa Bay.
