Bears Signing LB Javin White

Per the wire, the Bears are signing LB Javin White to a contract.

White, 27, wound up going undrafted out of UNLV in 2020. He later signed a three-year, $2.28 million contract with the Raiders but was waived coming out of training camp.

The Raiders did, however, re-sign White to their practice squad soon after. He bounced on and off the team’s practice squad, including re-signing on a futures deal for 2021. 

The Jets later signed White off of the Raiders’ practice squad. He was then waived and caught on with the Bears. White missed the rest of the 2022 season due to a torn ACL before joining the Michigan Panthers of the UFL. 

During his college career at UNLV, White recorded 199 tackles, 3.5 sacks, nine interceptions, six forced fumbles, a recovery, a defensive touchdown, and 15 passes defended over the course of four seasons 38 games.

For his career, White has appeared in six games for the Raiders and Jets, recording three total tackles.
