Rachaad White took to social media over the weekend to all but say goodbye to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their fans.

Did running back Rachaad White just play his last game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Based on his recent social media post, it sure seems that way.

Over the weekend, White posted a story to his Instagram with a photo of himself in the locker room and the caption "Uno out. Thank yaw forever for da past 4 years." White is set to become a free agent in March, but may have already seen the writing on the wall. 

White also tweeted, "Damn. I'm forever grateful."

If White is done in Tampa Bay, he will leave after four productive seasons with the Buccaneers. He played in all but one game for the Bucs, including all 17 games in 2025. He rushed for 2,656 yards and 14 touchdowns. This season, he rushed for 572 yards and four TDs while splitting the backfield with second-year tailback Bucky Irving.

White was also a contributor in the passing game, catching at least 40 passes in all four seasons. He totaled 205 receptions for 1,450 yards and 11 touchdowns.

In total, that's 4,106 total yards on 882 touches and 25 touchdowns in four seasons. Ultimately, Irving has taken over as the main back for Tampa Bay, making White expendable and unlikely to be re-signed this offseason.

RB Sean Tucker, who also carved out a role in the backfield, is set to become a restricted free agent. That means Irving is the only running back among the three that is under contract for next season. 

The Buccaneers do have the ability to tender Tucker or match any offer sheet he may receive in free agency. It's possible Tucker is back in Tampa next season. It's also not a lock they don't try to re-sign White.

If the Buccaneers are in the market for a veteran running back to pair with Irving, there are some interesting names, though they will likely be looking for bigger money and more of a starting role. Those names include the Jets' Breece Hall, the Cowboys' Javonte Williams and Travis Etienne Jr., who starts for the Jaguars.

One name that could be intriguing is veteran running back Kenneth Walker of the Seahawks. Seattle started using Zach Charbonnet much more in the passing game and near the goal line, frustrating Walker's fantasy owners, despite the team raving about him before the season. His market will be an interesting one to watch. Maybe the Buccaneers toy with the idea of pairing Walker with Irving.
