Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White is signing a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million with the Philadelphia Eagles, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Frustrated by not getting a new contract last offseason, White requested a trade but instead played under the fifth-year option. He struggled with foot and groin injuries throughout the 2023 season and was replaced by K.J. Britt as the Buccaneers fought for a playoff berth. The two rotated in the postseason, with White playing 37 defensive snaps in two games.

White, 26, showed what he is capable of with an interception of Trevor Lawrence that keyed a 30-12 rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars on Christmas Eve. Playmaking has never been the issue for White, however -- instead, it has been consistency, as he has been caught out of position multiples times. He surrendered an opening-drive touchdown to Najee Harris in the flat while playing the Pittsburgh Steelers and gave up a costly TD to Christian McCaffrey while playing the San Francisco 49ers last season.

The Bucs' fifth overall pick out of LSU in the 2019 NFL draft, White had his breakout season the following year, leading the Bucs with 140 combined tackles (97 solo) during the regular season, with 9 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and 4 passes defended. Despite missing the wild-card round playoff game because of COVID-19, White led the Bucs with 38 combined postseason tackles (27 solo), 2 fumble recoveries and 2 interceptions, including a pick-six of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LV.
