One of the NFL’s top tacklers last season has found a new home. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports (via Twitter) that the Eagles have signed Kyzir White.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports (on Twitter) that White is inking a one-year deal worth up to $5MM.
White had a breakout campaign in 2021. The linebacker started all 17 games for the Chargers, finishing with a team-leading 144 tackles, good for eighth in the NFL. White added four QB hits, one sack, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions. He got into 84 percent of his team’s defensive snaps.
White was a 2018 fourth-round pick by the Chargers. The West Virginia product got into 30 games (20 starts) through his first three seasons in the NFL, collecting 134 tackles, 0.5 sacks, and six tackles for loss.
The 26-year-old will be joining a depth chart that’s led by recent acquisition Haason Reddick. Philly is also rostering the likes of T.J. Edwards, Davion Taylor, Shaun Bradley, and Patrick Johnson.
Must be nice to have competent linebackers. The Saints have 1.5 and no urge to fix that, ever.
Eagles and competent linebackers is an oxymoron as wel
Well the Eagles now have .5 less.
got a feeling that this combined with the Reddick move will keep the eagles from drafting Devin Lloyd or nakobe dean
I hope your wrong!
Prob not using a 1st on one now. Could address the position later on in the draft.
I still think a Davis or Wyatt is a guarantee if available. I also think they could draft a WR.
I would be happy if they went with a any combo of DE, DT, cB, S, or WR with their first four picks. The draft will determine availability.
This makes letting Singleton leave hurt a lot less.
