Kyzir White‘s time in Tennessee is set to come to an end. The veteran linebacker has come to a mutual agreement with the Titans for the sides to part ways.
As NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports, Tennessee has agreed to allow White a change of scenery in time for the stretch run. The 29-year-old has been limited to just one game so far in 2025 due to a hamstring injury. Per Schultz, White (who was set to hit free agency at the end of the year anyway) is now healthy.
That could make him an attractive option to contending teams. White will hit the waiver wire once he is officially cut by Tennessee. In the event he clears, the former fourth-rounder will become a free agent. White has made 93 appearances and 73 starts over the course of his eight-year NFL career. That experience would no doubt be welcomed by any number of teams seeking depth at the second level in time for a playoff run.
White increased his production every year while playing out his rookie contract with the Chargers. The West Virginia product took a one-year deal with the Eagles in free agency, then inked a two-year Cardinals pact. In total, White has eclipsed 100 tackles three times in his career; he nearly reached that figure in 2023 as well despite only playing 11 games.
Having been sidelined since September, White will likely have a tepid market as he becomes available. Nevertheless, the former fourth-rounder could easily be seen as an upgrade for at least some teams as they look for defensive reinforcements to close out the year. It will be interesting to see where he lands over the coming days. The 1-11 Titans, meanwhile, will move forward with other options at the linebacker spot as they look to 2026.
