Eagles release Devin White after failed stint

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Devin White has been released, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. White, who never even played a single snap for the Eagles, was signed to a one-year, $4 million contract in March of this offseason.

The Eagles weren’t sure when they would have Nakobe Dean back healthy this summer. Once he returned to the starting lineup, it became clear that another free-agent signing, Zack Baun, not White, would be the better starting option. White was benched before the team’s Week 1 game against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil. And there was no chance he would play against his old team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in Week 4.
