Buffalo Bills Consider Adding Former Raiders Veteran Devin White

The Buffalo Bills have established themselves as a formidable presence in the NFL over recent seasons, despite experiencing a heartbreaking defeat against the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round of the 2025 playoffs. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, speculation is mounting that they may acquire a seasoned player to bolster their roster.

Potential Signing of Devin White Sparks Debate

Recent reports suggest the Buffalo Bills are linked to former Las Vegas Raiders veteran linebacker Devin White, whose performance has been mixed in the last few seasons. This potential move has ignited discussions among analysts and fans alike, though the Bills organization has remained silent on the rumors.

Jamie Malloy of FanSided, covering the Buffalo Bills, recently elaborated on why signing Devin White could be advantageous for the team. Malloy noted, "At the beginning of his career, Devin White was a menace on the field for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Since then, he's lost a little of that toughness in him that once made him a nightmare to play against."

However, Malloy added, "He's still a consistent and reliable tackler. The Super Bowl LV Champion with the Buccaneers still has plenty of time left in his career to return to the 2020 version of himself." Malloy continued, "What better place to do it than in Orchard Park, with the Bills playing in a brand-new stadium with a strong defense that's tailor-made for him to showcase his abilities."

Devin White's Recent Performance and Career Trajectory

In the 2025 season, Devin White dominated the field for the Las Vegas Raiders, setting a franchise record with 174 total tackles (95 solo), which ranked third in the entire NFL. Across 17 games, he also recorded:

  • 2.5 sacks
  • 11 tackles for loss
  • 1 interception
  • 1 forced fumble

This impressive performance marked a significant rebound from a challenging 2024 season. Initially, White signed a deal with the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2024 season but was released without playing a single snap. He then joined the Houston Texans on a one-year contract, appearing in just 7 games and primarily serving as a backup, finishing with 19 tackles (15 solo).

While his 2025 season demonstrated his enduring value and ability to bounce back, the football world is now watching closely to see where Devin White will land next. Many expect him to continue his resurgence on the field, making him a potentially valuable asset for teams like the Buffalo Bills seeking defensive reinforcements.

The Bills, with their strong defensive unit and new stadium, could provide an ideal environment for White to rediscover his peak form. As the offseason progresses, all eyes remain on this developing story and its implications for the upcoming NFL season.
