Tampa Bay Buccaneers star linebacker Devin White has reportedly asked for a trade.

The first-round pick has been "increasingly frustrated" with how the organization has functioned and is "fed up," ESPN reported Tuesday.

The Bucs are a transitioning team after Tom Brady announced his retirement following the 2022 NFL season. But White’s frustrations don’t have a publicly known root cause at the moment.

But he is also set for free agency after this year, and the 25-year-old may be wanting his extension prior to playing this year.

ESPN added that the Bucs are not willing to trade him.
