The deal is reportedly worth up to $7.5 million.
In five seasons with Tampa Bay, White recorded 566 tackles, 23 sacks, three interceptions, six forced fumbles and nine fumble recoveries.
Aside from Nakobe Dean, the Eagles are thin at inside linebacker so White would seem to slot in as a starter.
Of course this is only a one-year deal so the draft would seem like a likely place for the Eagles to add more long-term potential at the position.
White has not been great in the run game, but has shown splashes in the passing game.
The Eagles were very high on White when he went fifth overall in the draft (2019). They hope he can improve in a new system in his first year outside of Tampa Bay.
