Linebacker Devin White, a Super Bowl champion and former Pro Bowler, was released on Oct. 8 by the Philadelphia Eagles without ever playing a game for the team. White signed with the Eagles as a free agent in March after five years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he was never active for Philadelphia’s first four games, ultimately paving the way to his being cut.
White was a healthy scratch with the Eagles after a training camp battle with the team’s third-round pick in 2022, Nakobe Dean. The former Georgia Bulldog won the starting inside linebacker job, where he slots next to veteran Zack Baun in the Eagles’ 3-4 alignment. Just before the regular season, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio announced that Dean would be a starter, relegating White to the bench.
