All-Pro linebacker Devin White was released by the Philadelphia Eagles after playing zero snaps this season. The move comes despite White signing a one-year, $4 million contract with the team in the offseason.
All-Pro linebacker and Super Bowl champion Devin White just hit the free-agent market after being cut by the Philadelphia Eagles — without playing one snap. White signed a one-year, $4 million contract with $3.
5 million guaranteed this offseason, but the Eagles apparently thought he had no role with the team despite the hefty contract. The former Buccaneer was expected to complete for a starting role, but injuries pushed him down the depth chart and ex-Georgia star Nakobe Dean took control of the starting gig.He missed Week 1 with an ankle injury, was a healthy scratch in Weeks 2 and 3 and missed the Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers due to personal reasons.Travis Kelce kept Taylor waiting at airport for an hour before East Coast tripWhite was drafted one slot ahead of Daniel Jones as the No. 5 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of LSU. He previously formed a daunting linebacking core for the Buccaneers, playing alongside captain Lavonte David. White was the leading tackler on the 2020 Super Bowl squad, which was led by Tom Brady.‘Your story is still being written, and the best chapters are yet to come,” White posted as he now searches for a new home. “Believe that the future holds boundless possibilities, and you have the power to shape it into something truly extraordinary.”“Every day is a new beginning, a fresh start to create the life you have always imagined. Let go of past mistakes and focus on the possibilities of today,” White said. “You have the power to shape your destiny with every choice you make. Trust that each new day brings with it the opportunity to start over and make remarkable progress.” White seemingly had issues with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni as he was not interested in discussing his role coming off the bench when asked earlier in the season.Sirianni has bigger issues, though, as the Eagles sit at 2-2 and look far from the Super Bowl contender many thought they could be.Robert Saleh wasn't perfect, but he deserved better from the Jets
