Contract with the Seattle Seahawks

I haven't got any calls," White told FOX Sports Radio via SportsRadioInterviews.com. "Nobody's called me, but I'm preparing to play in the NFL and that's what I'm going to keep continuing to work on. That's the highest league that we have. I'm not taking any shots or disrespecting any other leagues, but it's the Aaron Curry National Football League that everybody wants to play in. I'm preparing to play for a team this year in the NFL."

White said he'll keep working hard and hoping for another chance.

"I've just got to keep working out, keep grinding and stay out of the way," White said. "That's all I'm doing right now, working on my craft, trying to be the best player I can be. When a team does give me a call, whenever they do, be in the best shape I can possibly be in and go over there and play football and win everybody's trust. ..

"You never know what's going on. They can tell you in a month, two months, T.J. Houshmandzadeh bring you in for training camp. It all just depends on what's going on with the teams and what their needs will be at the time. I'm just looking forward to the opportunity. Whoever gives me an opportunity definitely won't regret putting me on their team."

I was touted as the savior," said Bosworth, who was taken with the first supplemental pick of the 1987 draft. "Seattle really didn't have an identity. I was the face of the franchise. It was a little freaky. I can't lie. It was uncomfortable for me."

Think about that. No one ever sought the spotlight like the Boz, but not even Bosworth felt at home in its brightest glare.

It has been quiet for LenDale White since he was suspended by four games by the NFL for violating the league's substance-abuse policy and cut by the new Seattle Seahawks jerseys.

Bosworth played only 24 NFL games; injuries ended his career early in his third season. He's generally considered one of the biggest busts in pro football history.

"They wanted me to do the Super Bowl shuffle before I even got on the field," Bosworth said. "That certainly has an impact."

Bosworth described his Seattle experience as "circuslike." People Matt Hasselbeck following him around town. Newscasts polling the public on the Boz.

Bosworth said that kind of scrutiny wasn't good for his game.

"I was thrust into a position I didn't understand," he said.

Bosworth says he still recalls his emotions during the third exhibition game of his rookie year. "I felt the pressure so badly from people who said, 'We really need to see the Boz, we really need to see what we saw in Oklahoma.' I was just trying to figure out where I was supposed to be on the field."
