The Detroit Lions sign linebacker Devin White, according to multiple reports. White, a former first-round pick from 2019, is described as a former All-Pro and as having been productive in his most recent season with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Athletic reports the Lions are adding White to bolster their inside linebacker corps. The Winnipeg Free Press also states that Detroit signs White following a productive 2025 season with the Raiders and describes him as a former Pro Bowl-caliber linebacker.
While both outlets focus on White’s prior honors and recent performance with Las Vegas, they provide limited additional detail about contract terms, length, or role specifics beyond the intent to strengthen Detroit’s linebacker unit—particularly the inside linebacker position. The reporting indicates White is joining the Lions after a season in which he contributed on the defensive side for the Raiders, and Detroit’s move reflects an effort to add veteran linebacker depth and experience.
