Eagles Release Former Pro Bowler Devin White

The Philadelphia Eagles have made the decision to release linebacker Devin White, allowing him to enter the open market as a free agent. This move comes as part of the Eagles' ongoing efforts to optimize their roster, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. White, known for his versatility in both the run and pass game, is now available for teams looking to bolster their defense.

One potential landing spot for White could be his former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. White played a pivotal role in the Buccaneers’ defense during their Super Bowl run in 2020, helping them secure a championship against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. At his peak, White was considered one of the top interior linebackers in football. A reunion with the Buccaneers could benefit both sides, as Tampa may appreciate the value of a player who has already proven his ability to perform at a high level within their system.

However, despite rumors of a possible reunion, the Buccaneers have shown no interest in pursuing White. Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed that he has not spoken with White, dispelling any immediate speculation of a return to Tampa. While the rumor mill is always active during the season, it seems that, for now, there is no plan for White to rejoin his former team.

As White navigates free agency, it remains to be seen where the former Pro Bowler will land. One thing is certain: whichever team signs him will gain a player hungry to make an impact and regain his status as one of the league’s top linebackers.
