Devin White Released by Philadelphia Eagles After No Game Participation
Devin White's Unexpected Release
Devin White, a linebacker initially drafted as the No. 5 overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was recently released by the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite being a former Pro Bowler and leading tackler during his Super Bowl-winning season, White didn't see any action in the first four games of the season with the Eagles. This surprising move raises questions regarding his future in the league.
White's Career Overview
After starting prominently in his rookie season, White struggled with inconsistent PFF grades, fluctuating between 36.1 and 51.9, indicating challenges in his performance, especially in run defense. The Eagles opted not to activate him for the games, ultimately leading to the decision to cut him loose in the wake of their bye week.
Looking Ahead for Devin White
With White now on the open market, teams will need to weigh his past achievements against recent performance trends. The linebacker signed a one-year deal with the Eagles after the Buccaneers declined his fifth-year option, and this release marks a pivotal moment in his career.
