K. White droppable?

Spiral fracture- fluke
Fractures fibula- bad luck
Fractured scapula- guy has a serious bone condition

I'm dropping him for anything and not looking back. Sick of him taking up a roster spot. Just making sure I wasn't crazy. Poll won't change my mind he is off my team come Wednesday, but was curious to see if anyone would actually pick him up at this point.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses saying he isn't droppable and that it depends on waivers. I agree that it should depend on who you're able to pick up but I agree that he's a drop consideration. Some may want to hold out hope but I think your safe to cut the cord.

Wouldn't blame anyone for dropping him, but I'd try to get a pick (any pick) I could before I did that. I was never a believer in him to begin with and always thought he was too raw. Now he can't even stay on the field.

I couldn't get a three for him before yesterday when he was the only wr in Chicago. More disappointing was the fact that he had 2 catches for 6 yards and has shown absolutely nothing. We have limited amount of roster spaces and this might stop me from getting hollins or players I like that might actually do something someday. K white has not done anything for me, and he has actually stopped me from picking up someone who might. Bye bye k white. The Chicago bears should look into firing some front office think tank

It depends if you have the roster space and/or an IR spot. I think it's safe to say he is a bust and wouldn't blame anyone for dropping him. I was low on him from draft day...

I cut him coming into this season, was upset when Meredith went down, and now I am no longer upset.

The dude is just too fragile to play in the NFL. At this point I feel like my hope for Flash Gordon being a stud in the league again is more warranted than the possibility of Kevin white being fantasy relevant.

* obviously this is an opinion and not fact.

I sent out offers left and right trying to trade him after he got injured again. Got someone to bite on Wentz and him for Luck.

If you have an IR spot to burn, I guess you could put him on that. I'd also be fine with a complete drop. Otherwise, the dude is complete garbage in my opinion. He's never been a player I've owned or wanted to own. He's body is too brittle for the NFL.

That's basically just Wentz for Luck and at this point the team that ended up with Wentz won the deal. White will probably just get dropped by the dude.

I have Mariota so could afford to take the chance with that trade.

I think there's a difference between droppable and having minimal value.

White is unlikely to ever be a good player. He just may not have the body to sustain the physcicality of the NFL. But, there are certainly worse players being rostered in leagues than White. Best case is that you stash him on IR and include him as a free flyer in a bigger deal.

The Bears are probably going to cut him next year in all likelihood. They sure as heck won't pick up his 5th year option.

The brief looks at him I've seen he looks nothing like even half the player people expected he could be.

I just put him on the IR no reason to drop him if your league has IR spots

White's fourth year is fully guaranteed. There's a slim chance they cut him. But, it's a guarantee that they won't exercise his 5th year option.

Yup. I loathe him but if you have the IR slot to use, might as well stash him there unless there are contract or roster restrictions that would preclude you from doing so.
