After Terrion Arnold’s Injury, Detroit Lions Waste No Time – Immediately Extend “Blockbuster” Offer to Former Eagles Captain Who Became a Free Agent Just Hours After Parting with Titans

Detroit, Michigan – 12/03/2025

The Detroit Lions didn’t waste a second after Terrion Arnold’s long-term injury. Just hours after former Philadelphia Eagles captain Kyzir White officially became a free agent following his departure from the Tennessee Titans, the Lions immediately sent what sources are calling a “blockbuster” and “nearly impossible to refuse” offer. This aggressive move shows Detroit views White as the piece that can salvage a defense suffering serious depth issues as the playoff race heats up.

The Lions are entering the critical stretch of the season with their defense having lost two key pieces in a row at both secondary and linebacker. Kyzir White — the 2022 Eagles team captain who led the Arizona Cardinals in tackles for two straight seasons — is seen as the perfect addition to bring veteran experience, football IQ, and on-field leadership. At 29 years old, he remains in peak form and is famous for reading routes and organizing the defense like a “defensive coordinator on the field.”

According to insiders, the Lions’ offer is not only financially attractive but also guarantees White an immediate starting role while entrusting him with mentoring young players like Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph through the final stretch. Detroit believes this is a chance to replace Arnold’s loss without trading away future assets. From the locker room to the front office, excitement is sky-high at the prospect of bringing White to the NFC North.

At this afternoon’s press conference, head coach Dan Campbell all but confirmed the Lions’ strong interest in White. “I’ve always respected the way he plays — smart, tough, and never quits. If we get the chance to work with a warrior like that, I believe the whole team gets elevated. Guys like him don’t just play football they inspire.” It is extremely rare for Campbell to publicly express this level of enthusiasm for a player currently on the open market.

Now the entire NFL is waiting to see what decision White will make. The Titans parted ways with him in shocking fashion, and the Lions are rolling out the red carpet to bring him back to the NFC. If this deal goes through, Detroit won’t just fill Arnold’s void — they’ll add a proven defensive leader for the playoff push. One thing is certain: the Kyzir White sweepstakes has become the biggest story in the NFL after Week 13.
