Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Rachaad White, are allegedly extortion, his lawyers announced on Tuesday in a statement.
Michelle Gervais and TJ Grimaldi said that the FBI “and other appropriate authorities” “examine” the question.
“Threats and requests and illegal and defamatory requests against Rachaad and his family will be welcomed by zero tolerance,” lawyers said in the press release. “We will continue to exercise all the legal paths to protect Rachaad’s rights as a victim of extortion.”

White started the season when the team started the ball carrier, but was slowly taken up by the recruit Bucky Irving. After rushing for 990 yards out of 272 races in 2023, these figures reached 144 attempts and 613 yards, while IRVING finally took the main role.

There are speculations according to which White could be a salary victim for the BUCs, because Sean Tucker also found a role in the back of the BUCs later in the season.
