Adding White gives Tennessee another veteran who will eventually compete with second-year players Cedric Gray and James Williams for a starting spot. White, who played his first four seasons for the Los Angeles Chargers, set career highs last season with 2.5 sacks, eight quarterback hits, nine tackles for loss, an interception, three passes defended, and a fumble recovery, the first of his career. He had 137 tackles last season. For his seven-year career, he has 615 tackles, 7.5 sacks and six interceptions.
Patriots Baker had the option to return to New England's practice squad, but elected a fresh start in Philadelphia. Javon Baker is reportedly heading to a new team for the 2025 season. The 2024 fourth-round pick had a rollercoaster of a career in New England, and that remained true up until the very end of his tenure. Heading into the week, it appeared Baker was on the bubble of making the Patriots' 53-man roster.
Corley, a third-round pick last year, was the most significant name, but he was taken by the old regime of Joe Douglas and Robert Saleh. Douglas even orchestrated a trade to move up to No. 65 in the draft for Corley, who is nicknamed "YAC King" for his Yards after the Catch. His reign in New York was short-lived as Corley appeared in just nine games as a rookie and caught three passes for 16 yards.
This was far more than a trim. NFL teams had to shear an enormous number of players from rosters Tuesday, dropping from as many as 90 players to 53 by 1 p.m. PDT. The league's tallest player and heaviest player both were cut. A former Rams star running back is out of a job. So is a star receiver. And so is one of Deion Sanders' sons, but not the one so many folks seem to love to despise.
