The Las Vegas Raiders have signed veteran inside linebacker Devin White to a one-year deal, a source confirmed to ESPN.
White has a connection with new Raiders general manager John Spytek and minority owner Tom Brady, stemming from their time together in Tampa Bay.
White was drafted by the Buccaneers with the fifth overall pick of the 2019 draft. He spent five seasons with the Buccaneers and collected 585 tackles and 23 sacks in 76 career games.
He played a big role in helping the Buccaneers win a Super Bowl in 2020 when he posted a career-best 140 tackles and nine sacks.
White was a Pro Bowl selection in 2021.
After his final season in Tampa Bay in 2023, White signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles but was later released after being inactive for the first four games of the 2024 campaign.
Eventually, White was picked up by the Houston Texans and appeared in seven games, totaling 19 tackles.
In Las Vegas, White will have a chance to compete for a starting job in a thin inside locker room. Even though the Raiders signed former Steelers Elandon Roberts, they lost Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo in free agency.
The Raiders attempted to sign restricted free agent linebacker Christian Elliss, but the Patriots matched their offer sheet.
NFL reporter Jordan Schultz first reported the news of White’s deal.
