One intriguing free agent wasted no time expressing once again that he wants to play with Jayden Daniels and Commanders next year
Tampa Bay Buccaneers free agent RB Rachaad White posts goodbye on social media, and a cryptic response to a suggestion to play with Jayden Daniels again.
The 2025 NFL regular season came to a close, and the offseason is underway for teams that didn’t make the playoffs.
The Washington Commanders are one of those teams, which means it’s time to get to work in rebuilding the coaching staff and the roster. The Commanders have a lot of roster decisions to make with their own free agents, but they will look elsewhere for talent as well.
One intriguing free agent wasted no time saying goodbye to his team and expressing his desire to be reunited with Jayden Daniels again.
Rachaad White looks to have a new home next season, with a goodbye message to the Tampa Bay Bucs
Free agency is still a while away, but teams are going to be extending contracts and making decisions on players soon. Rachaad White is a free agent, and it looks like he won’t be playing in Tampa Bay next season, and will be looking for a new home this offseason after posting a goodbye story on his Instagram.
White has played for the Buccaneers since he was a rookie four years ago, and now he will be looking for a new team for the first time in his career. He also took to X to post a cryptic response to a suggestion of him playing with Daniels again.
Rachaad White posts a response to him playing on the Commanders
White played with Daniels back at Arizona State in 2020 and 2021, and he’s already shown before that he is still very close with Daniels. Back in December, White posted a couple of Instagram stories of himself and Daniels when they were together at Arizona State, and he’s back at it again. After his goodbye message, White responded to a post of him and Daniels with a thinking emoji. He also has a picture of himself and Daniels in their Arizona State uniforms as his profile picture now.
Should the Commanders sign Rachaad White?
This is honestly a no-brainer to me. White would be the perfect Austin Ekeler replacement, and fill his exact role as a RB1 who could split carries with Bill Croskey-Merrit, while being a pass protector and a huge part of the passing game as well. White is very underrated still, and would thrive back in a RB1 role after splitting time with Bucky Irving.
The Commanders had success running the ball this year, but the current running back room isn’t reliable off the ball at all, and that’s why the offense needs to add a do-it-all back to start. White would be a lot more cost-friendly compared to other RB targets in free agency, such as Kenneth Walker III and Breece Hall, who could demand $10+ million per year. The Commanders have a lot of needs to address, and a true RB1 is on that list as well.
