The Philadelphia Eagles announced Wednesday that they have released former LSU linebacker Devin White.

White signed a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Eagles in March but has not played this season. Per CBS:
quote:
White was signed to give the Eagles a productive player and veteran presence in the middle of their defense. But those things never happened after White lost his position battle with Nakobe Dean. Younger linebackers and special teams contributors Ben VanSumeren and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. also kept him off the field during his brief time in Philadelphia.

Still just 26 years old, White will now look to make an impact somewhere else. By releasing him now, the Eagles have given White a chance to find a new home before teams start to ramp up trade talk ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline.

There should be a decent market for White, a 2021 Pro Bowler who played an integral role in the Buccaneers' championship season back in 2020. A former No. 5 overall pick, White was a productive tackler who was also capable of getting to quarterbacks and forcing turnovers in Tampa.

Time stands still for no one! He should have another season or two in him. If not, I am glad he has made some cash, so he can get out while his health is relatively good.

He's welcome with open arms down here in New Orleans. I wish nothing but the best for the young man regardless of where he ends up.

Devin White is one of the best players... in life too. Seems like a really good dude. I'd be surprised if another team didn't pick him up

Not being active for a single game isn’t a good sign.

For those asking if he's been hurt, he has a long history of foot injury. It's what caused him to miss a lot of games in Tampa. His foot simply does not hold up like it used.

His biggest flaw was that he wasn’t a very good form tackler and the NFL exposed that. He would just use his size and speed to run up to guys and collide with them

He’s a great person but seems like the NFL hasn’t worked out for him as it should have. Hope he can find a role to play on a team and keep the dream alive

If he doesn't find another home and start, that is a major 'BUST'. Would be very interested to know the back story here. Something is not adding up! Geaux Devin, get back on track soon.

Bust? 5+ year, pro bowler, integral player during Super Bowl year. Not everyone’s body can hold up for 10+ years, especially as hard as he played.

Do you follow him at all? His foot is garbage due injury. He's not a bust. Busts never were. He was and got hurt.
