Eagles cut Devin White

I’d at least kick the tires and bring him in for a tryout

Not far removed from some great seasons at ILB.
2020-2021-2022....
9 sacks, 140 tackles, 15 TFL, 16 QBH
3.5, 128, 8, 18
5.5, 124. 8 , 16

2023
limited to 14 games,
2.3, 83, 5, 9
But 2 INT and 6 PD.

Maybe he lost a step or two to be playing in space?

Can he make a position change?
Did he play some OLB?

At 6'-0" and 240lb..... ( James Harrison- ish )
Can he come in an play the OLB spot?

Bring him in....take a look, see what he has.

But this would be a rare move for Tomlin.
Again, the moving train thing.
We will just move a guy up from the practice squad.

I do not know much about Jerimiah Moon, who came in for Herbig.
But do know they have nobody else on the current depth chart at OLB.

Highsmith - Out
Herbig - Out
Leal - Out ?

Moon, Robinson

It's what happens to dumb athletes that never exercise their brain, start to lose their athletic skill (probably more from laziness), but believe in what they once did (for a few years) has more value than it does -- thus stealing a G$4M paycheck from PHI and getting cut a quarter of the way into his agreement.

NFL = Not For Long.

But hey, he's 26 and has "earned" over $45M to date. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

TL;DR.... He's got F U money and that took over the space between his ears where character/morals/pride (whatever he had) use to reside.

White was a controversial recruit out of high school, having multiple run-ins with police. In November 2015, he and his teammate Keuntra Gipson were arrested for having sex with a 14-year-old, a misdemeanor in Louisiana.[2] One month later, White was arrested for misdemeanor charges of “careless operation of a motor vehicle and flight from an officer.”[3] Because of his legal situation, White was dismissed from the 2015 Under Armour All-America Game.[4] Despite these controversies, he was still able to sign with LSU to play football.[5]
