The Las Vegas Raiders have secured a significant addition to their linebacker core by signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Devin White to a one-year contract. White, a fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and a one-time Pro Bowler, joins the Raiders after a tumultuous stint that included a release from the Philadelphia Eagles and a brief tenure with the Houston Texans. His arrival addresses a critical need following Divine Deablo's departure in free agency. Raiders GM John Spytek, who previously worked with White during his time in Tampa, bets on his potential to return to elite form.
Despite White's recent struggles, including being let go from two teams in a single season, the Raiders hope that his experience and past performance will elevate their defensive unit. His speed and playmaking ability could provide the Raiders with the boost they desperately need on the field, as they prepare for a new season. The success of this acquisition will hinge on White's ability to regain his confidence and prove he can still be a dominant force in the NFL.
