Steelers should call this team right now for LB help
In light of the news of Tom Brady's retirement, the Steelers should call the Buccaneers right away to see if any of their top players are available.
With a rebuild potentially on its way in Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh should definitely inquire about LB Devin White.
White, the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, had 124 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 2022.
He was drafted just five picks before the Steelers selected LB Devin Bush at 10th overall. However, their careers have been night and day.
White has been one of the top linebackers in the league over the last four years, helping the Buccaneers win Super Bowl LV. While Bush hasn't been the same since tearing his ACL after a promising rookie season.
Bush reportedly wants "a change of scenery" as he's set to become a free agent this offseason. And Pittsburgh likely agrees as its linebacker unit was one of the worst in the NFL this year.
They would certainly benefit by adding a player like White, but it depends on what his price would be.
The Steelers do have three picks in the top 50 of this year's draft. And now may be the perfect time to acquire White if Tampa Bay doesn't want to pay him after his fifth-year option was picked up.
