Titans running back LenDale White is trying to say all the right things, even as his team bumbles through an eight-games-and-counting losing streak.
So why is LenDale being so positive? Because he’s due to become a free agent after the season.
His plans for a possible payday include, we’re told, hiring agent Drew Rosenhaus.
White signed a four-year deal as a rookie in 2006. Absent a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, 2010 will proceed without a salary cap -- and White and every other free agent with fewer than six years of service will not be unrestricted free agents.
White’s production has dropped since the arrival of Chris Johnson. After rushing for more than 1,000 in his second season, White was limited to 773 yards in 2008. He scored 15 touchdowns, however, as the goal-line and short-yardage back.
This year, White has only 148 yards through six games, and one touchdown for the 0-6 Titans.
