Arizona Cardinals free agent linebacker Kyzir White is still available on the market, but he could sign a contract soon before the 2025 regular season. Moe Moton made a list of top free agents under age 30<\/a>, and White was among the top 5 on the list. Originally selected in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the former West Virginia product had a slow start to his career with the Los Angeles Chargers after spending three seasons with the team, spending one campaign with the Philadelphia Eagles before eventually joining the Cardinals. White became a solid contributor for Arizona\u2019s pass-rush, so it\u2019s hard to imagine that the linebacker didn\u2019t sign a new contract, as he wasn\u2019t the worst defender out there.<\/p>\n

After signing Josh Sweat<\/a>, it made it easier for the Cardinals to move on, but White is more of a linebacker than he is a defensive end. However, White did battle some injuries in his first years in his career after missing 18 games between 2018 and 2020, so could it be an injury issue that teams aren\u2019t willing to take a risk? Only time can tell, and while he doesn\u2019t record a lot of sacks, he provides stability to play at an optimal level to avoid the offense of scoring multiple touchdowns. He isn\u2019t the best in pass-rush situations, but could be efficient in coverage for these five teams if he receives interest soon.<\/p>\n

\nCould Cardinals Free Agent Kyzir White Receive Interest Soon? \u2013 5 Possible Fits
\nPotential Destinations
\nBaltimore Ravens<\/p>\n

While the Baltimore Ravens have the offense to be Super Bowl Champions one day, the defense may be what\u2019s stopping them. After losing Jadeveon Clowney<\/a>, Geno Stone, Patrick Queen and Malik Harrison these past two offseasons, it will become increasingly difficult for the unit. Even though Roquan Smith<\/a> and Kyle Van Noy are playing at their peak, it hasn\u2019t been the same story for Trenton Simpson, who is coming off his worst season last year. Odafe Oweh is entering his contract year, and he may re-sign a new deal if he performs up to standards again, but Van Noy is getting older, and someone like White could fill the void of helping him in coverage.<\/p>\n

New Orleans Saints<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Saints could use another linebacker after losing Willie Gay<\/a> this offseason. Demario Davis<\/a> and Pete Werner still run this defensive pass-rush, but they\u2019re one more guy to complete the package. White isn\u2019t the best, but he could carve out a role in this unit to provide some stability.<\/p>\n

Washington Commanders<\/p>\n

However, the Commanders need a linebacker in the worst way. After losing Dante Fowler Jr. this offseason, the team needs a pass-rusher, and while White does well in coverage, he could be reliable to help Frankie Luvu in the middle. One has to help Bobby Wagner<\/a> in the pass-rush, so maybe they keep rotating Luvu around while White solidifies most of the coverage snaps.<\/p>\n

Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys aren\u2019t desperate for another linebacker, but considering the contract situation with Micah Parsons<\/a>, they might need another talent on defense. Jack Sanborn and Kenneth Murray Jr. are fine temporary starters<\/a>, but they could use an upgrade over Damone Clark,<\/a> where White could be a reliable backup and used on a rotational basis.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Chargers<\/p>\n

Nobody loves winning in the trenches more than Jim Harbaugh. However, the run defense was at its worst while the secondary was explosive. White returning to Los Angeles might make sense to provide more juice to this team that contains Khalil Mack<\/a> and Bud Dupree on the outside of this pass-rush.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arizona Cardinals free agent linebacker Kyzir White is still available on the market, but he could sign a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2078],"tags":[375,390,14996,2604,849,1740,1327,5403,436,6838,7,4893,3278,6989,2453,401,6,10420,6211,10421],"class_list":{"0":"post-132701","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arizona-cardinals","8":"tag-arizona","9":"tag-arizona-cardinals","10":"tag-arizona-cardinals-news","11":"tag-arizonacardinals","12":"tag-baltimore-ravens-news","13":"tag-bobby-wagner","14":"tag-cardinals","15":"tag-chargers-featured","16":"tag-dallas-cowboys-news","17":"tag-demario-davis","18":"tag-football","19":"tag-jadeveon-clowney","20":"tag-khalil-mack","21":"tag-kyzir-white","22":"tag-los-angeles-chargers-news","23":"tag-new-orleans-saints-news","24":"tag-nfl","25":"tag-ravens-featured","26":"tag-saints-featured","27":"tag-washington-commanders-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114689330684890008","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
