Great article as always Jon. How is it you're not overly concerned about White's impact on Rodriguez? He's just come off a monster season at LV and he's only a year or so older. Do you envision White being more of a backup to Campbell, rather than a positional threat to Rodriguez? Thanks.
Thanks, and for me, White has not been a good NFL linebacker by any means, and his getting a full-time role last year was more out of the Raiders' desperation than anything. He was great for IDP, but continues to be a liability for an NFL team. The team also basically alluded to the idea that he was added as depth after rookie Jimmy Rolder suffered an injury that's likely going to cost him the year. White getting signed now instead of earlier in the offseason also kind of confirms that he's not thought of as a starter. Maybe he makes the roster and becomes relevant again, but I think the odds are lower for that happening, but we'll see.

Really appreciate the prompt response and the detail, thank you.
