The Houston Texans have been one of the most active teams this offseason. Despite making it to the divisional round, the Texans have made it a priority to switch things around. A flurry of moves has been made along the offensive line while swapping out Stefon Diggs for Christian Kirk.
With teams around the league planning for the 2025 season, one former Texan has found a new team. According to Jordan Schultz, the Las Vegas Raiders signed LB Devin White to a one-year deal.

NFL News: Devin White Signs With the Las Vegas Raiders
Last October, Houston signed White to a one-year deal after he was released by the Philadelphia Eagles. The LSU product played in seven games for the Texans with just one start. In those outings, he finished with 19 total tackles.
The Texans believed they were getting an athletic difference-maker in the middle of the field but he was far from that. According to PFF, White had a 57 overall grade (131st among 189 eligible linebackers), a 58.4 run defense grade (141st among 189 eligible linebackers), and a 62.4 coverage grade (65th among 189 eligible linebackers).
It's been a rough last two seasons for White. He's been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles before signing with Houston and now the Raiders.
Raiders GM John Spytek drafted White in Tampa Bay, so the connection played a big role in this addition. They are hoping they can get some good football from White but he wasn't able to show that during his time with the Texans.
In his career, White has compiled 585 total tackles, 40 TFLs, 64 QB hits, 23 sacks, and 21 pass deflections.
Whether he can capture the juice he had with the Bucs remains to be seen but he may get a chance to play against the Texans as the Raiders march in NRG Stadium during the 2025 campaign.
