The Philadelphia Eagles are adding some much-needed veteran help to their linebacker room.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Birds are signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White to a one-year deal worth up to $7.5 million.
White, 26, was originally a fifth overall pick out of LSU by the Bucs in the 2019 NFL Draft and had been with the team ever since before he entered NFL free agency this offseason.
In five seasons in Tampa, White appeared in 76 games, logging 364 tackles, 23 sacks, six forced fumbles and three interceptions.
His best year came in 2020 when he led the Bucs with 140 combined tackles, 9 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and four interceptions. His outstanding efforts that year helped Tampa reach Super Bowl LV and he earned his first and only Pro Bowl nod.
In Philly, White will replace Nicholas Morrow, who signed with the Buffalo Bills at the start of NFL free agency.
