Devin White joining the Cincinnati Bengals is one of the most popular scenarios in mock drafts as the march to the 2019 NFL draft continues.
A top-10 prospect, White has said a team is willing to trade up and get him on draft day — and that team being the Bengals wouldn’t be too surprising.
White has big, big plans for how his career will unfold with said team, too.
“People know ‘Devin isn’t going to be on the board long, and we’re not going to find another Devin 10 years from now. He’s rare,’” White said, via Roy Lang of the Shreveport Times. “Draft me, because when I hit free agency in five years, the price will go up. I’ll be looking for $100 million then.”
Disclaimer — White is joking about the $100 million:
By the time White gets out of his fifth-year option with his new team, the going rate for top-tier linebackers might be even higher, so it’s certainly something he should aspire to earn.
Given the team’s desperate needs, the Bengals might be the team willing to give him a shot at it.
