In an expected move, the Eagles are releasing veteran linebacker Devin White, who was a healthy scratch in their first four games of the season.
White missed the Buccaneers’ week four loss and had been inactive for games against the Packers, Falcons, and Saints.

The Eagles have had Nakobe Dean and Zach Baun starting the first four games, and Baun had been one of the most impressive linebackers in the NFL through the first three weeks.
White exited Tampa Bay for Philadelphia with the hope of retooling his career while becoming the missing piece that gets this Eagles team over the Super Bowl hump. During the summer, it looked like White had shown he was the best linebacker on the roster while assuming a leadership role, resulting in the former Buccaneers star becoming a defensive general.
White, a 2024 free agent signing, talked about being a team leader and upgrading Philadelphia’s linebacker position.
He’ll now look to sign with a playoff contender.
