Eagles Release Linebacker Devin White

The Philadelphia Eagles have released linebacker Devin White, who was signed earlier this year but remained inactive for all four games of the season. White's departure, agreed upon to avoid him being subject to waivers after the trade deadline, allows him to become a free agent immediately. He was unable to secure a starting position against Nakobe Dean during training camp and did not play a single snap due to a combination of injury and personal reasons. This move opens a roster spot for safety Sydney Brown, who is expected to fill White's position. The Eagles, currently 2-2, are preparing for their upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns. White's contract was a one-year deal worth $4 million, with $3.5 million guaranteed, intended as a 'prove-it' opportunity after a promising start to his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
