White, 26, also visited with Denver and Pittsburgh. Apparently, Pittsburgh offered a larger contract, but White says he wanted to remain a Packer. "I love it in Green Bay," said White, "Basically, I was talking to Green Bay the whole time."
One of White's goals is to be the first Packers special teamer to make the Pro Bowl since Travis Jervey did in 1997. "I've got unfinished business. I think I've got an excellent opportunity. I think they know that I'm like the special-teams guy."
This is a smart signing for the Packers, and not one that is unexpected. Every team needs a leader on special teams, and Tracy is our guy. Plus, the last special teamer who also played linebacker that we let get away was Hunter Hillenmeyer, and he's pretty good these days.
