The Detroit Lions announced on Saturday the signing of veteran inside linebacker Devin White. This acquisition significantly bolsters the team's defensive depth as they aim to rebound from a disappointing 2025 season.
White, an eighth-year pro, comes off a strong one-year stint with the Las Vegas Raiders. In 2025, he registered the third-most combined tackles in the NFL, tallying 174 over 17 starts. His performance also included 11 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, and an interception.
Originally a fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019, White spent five seasons with the team. He started 75 of his 76 appearances, earning second-team All-Pro honors in 2020. White's recent history includes a brief period with the Philadelphia Eagles in March 2024, followed by a release and a seven-game stint with the Houston Texans later that year.
