White on the way

We're told by the agent for defensive end Greg White that the player will report to camp this morning and participate in practices.

White was a no-show by Friday's 4 p.m. reporting deadline, but agent Jack Bechta said White will sign his contract tender, ending his monthslong dispute.

An exclusive-rights free agent, White was hoping to secure a long term deal largely because he is entering his second NFL season at 29. But the Bucs were under no obligation as White is prohibited from negotiating with any other club.

He led the Bucs in 2007 with eight sacks but will have to compete with veterans Kevin Carter and Marques Douglas for a starting role at left defensive end.
