The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced Wednesday that they have picked up the fifth-year option for former LSU linebacker Devin White.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took the expected step to keep standout inside linebacker Devin White in the fold through at least the 2023 season on Wednesday, exercising the fifth-year option on his original NFL contract. White was the Buccaneers' first-round draft pick in 2019 and he has already earned a Pro Bowl berth, All-Pro status and a Super Bowl ring during his first three seasons.
Since 2011, all contracts for first-round picks have been standardized as four-year deals with a fifth-year team option. Teams must choose whether or not to pick up that option before the player's fourth season. The specific deadline to do so this year was Monday, May 2. Since the ratification of a new CBA in 2020, those option years have been fully guaranteed and they come with a significant hike in salary based on position, playing time and performance, including honors such as Pro Bowl selections.
