The Chicago Bears have signed linebacker Javin White of the UFL's Michigan Panthers on Sunday. White had 38 total tackles and two sacks for the Panthers this season. In 148 snaps, he had an impressive 88.0 grade via PFF. In the 2022 preseason, he played for the Bears but was waived before the 85-man roster on August 16. He missed the rest of the 2022 season with a torn ACL before joining the UFL. He also had a short stint with the Jets. During his time in the NFL with the Raiders and Jets, he made four total tackles. In 2020, he was an undrafted free agent out of UNLV and signed a three-year, $2.28 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders. For the Running Rebels, he registered 199 tackles, 3.5 sacks, nine interceptions, six forced fumbles, a recovery, a defensive touchdown, and 15 passes defended in 38 games.
