Eagles Sign a LB – Iggles Blitz
White got off to a great start in Tampa, but things didn’t finish great and they let him walk in free agency. The Eagles are taking a chance in signing White, but they’re taking a chance on a talented player who is still in his prime. There are a lot worse ideas. White is a MLB, which means that Nakobe Dean will play WLB this year. White can blitz, cover and he’s a tackling machine. Ability isn’t the issue. I need to study some tape of White to understand what his issues are. It sounds like discipline and consistency are areas that need improvement. The Eagles would love to have good LB play this year. I think they would settle for good enough. White might be able to give them that. Vic Fangio has had some great LBs over the years. Maybe he is the coach to bring out the best in White. At the very least, White will be better than Nick Morrow and the gang from 2023.

LB Devin White. White is a bit of an interesting case. He’s a very good linebacker in his specific role. Lavonte David handled most of the green dot capabilities in Tampa Bay, with White being free to run and chase on the backside of plays. I don’t think he’ll cost a lot for a team that wants to use their linebackers in the blitz game, and could be worth a flier for a team like the Seattle Seahawks. Update: White signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Every year White’s play declined until last year he was a healthy scratch by Bucs coach Todd Bowles at Green Bay. White also was famously called out by Bucs legend Warren Sapp for loafing against Baltimore on Thursday Night Football in 2022. In the same game, White got absolutely owned by Crows center Tyler Linderbaum. It was freaking sad, man. White did himself no favors demanding to be traded by the Bucs a couple of months later because he couldn’t hustle Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht for Roquan Smith money.

It’s been a pretty busy NFL free agency period for the Philadelphia Eagles but one gaping roster hole has remained unaddressed: off-ball linebacker. That is, until now. The Eagles are signing Devin White to a one-year contract worth “up to $7.5 million,” according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter. While there’s appreciation to be had for Howie Roseman addressing a position of weakness, there are also questions if White is truly a good solution.
