The Las Vegas Raiders have signed linebacker Devin White of Springhill, Louisiana to a one year contract according to BVM Sports on Tuesday. The terms of the deal are one year and $1.17 million according to Spotrac.

White is joining his third National Football League franchise. He spent five seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2019 to 2023, and one season with the Houston Texans in 2024.

White played seven games with the Texans in 2024. He had 19 combined tackles (15 solo tackles and four assisted tackles). White actually signed with the Texans during the season. He came to terms on October 8, two weeks after being released by the Philadelphia Eagles. In an interesting story, the Eagles signed White during the 2024 NFL offseason to a one year deal worth $7.5 million. However, White never played a game for Philadelphia and was let go. The Eagles made the right decision with White because they ended up winning the Super Bowl. 

Speaking of the Super Bowl, White was a Super Bowl champion while with the Buccaneers. In Super Bowl LV, the Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9. In the game, White intercepted Patrick Mahomes, had one pass deflection, two tackles for a loss, and a dozen tackles (eight solo tackles and four assisted tackles).

White was the fifth overall pick by the Buccaneers in the 2019 NFL Draft. In his third NFL season of 2021, he was selected to the Pro Bowl. That year he had 128 combined tackles (87 solo tackles and 41 assisted tackles), eight tackles for a loss, 18 quarterback hits, three pass deflections, one fumble recovery for five yards, and three and a half sacks. White’s fumble recovery that season came in a 38-3 Buccaneers win over the Chicago Bears on October 24, 2021.
