Former Eagles Star – 2022 NFC Champion Expresses Strong Desire to Join Patriots Immediately After Becoming Free Agent, Heaps Praise on Coach Vrabel

Foxborough, Massachusetts – 04/12/2025

Just hours after the Tennessee Titans and Kyzir White reached a mutual parting, the NFL market was rocked when the former Eagles star – the linebacker who won the NFC title in 2022 openly expressed his desire to join the New England Patriots. White, an experienced linebacker with over 600 career tackles, instantly drew attention by showering special praise on head coach Mike Vrabel, the man currently leading a powerful Patriots rebuild in the AFC.

White is regarded as one of the linebackers who “can sign today and make an impact tomorrow,” having just come off an outstanding 2024 season with the Cardinals (137 tackles) before an injury limited him to only one game with the Titans this year. The moment he officially hit free agency, White made no secret of his excitement about the culture Vrabel is building in New England, declaring it an environment he has “always wanted to test himself in.”

In his latest interview, White offered rare but heartfelt praise for Vrabel a coach he described as “born to lead defenses”: “Coach Vrabel is the kind of guy you want to go to war for every single snap. He gets players, he gets locker rooms, and he knows how to turn a group into a team. Playing for him is definitely something I’d love to experience.”

In New England, the need for a veteran linebacker is real. The Patriots defense is developing strongly with Christian Gonzalez, Jabrill Peppers, and Ja’Whaun Bentley, but still lacks depth and stability at the linebacker spot to meet playoff goals. Kyzir White – who once excelled in the systems of the Chargers and Eagles is seen as the perfect addition to Vrabel’s disciplined defensive philosophy.

White’s public interest has sent Patriots Nation into a frenzy, especially given his key role in taking the Eagles to the Super Bowl. If New England decides to pursue him seriously, this could be a high-value, low-cost move perfect for a team rediscovering its iron-wall defensive identity. And with the glowing words for Vrabel, one thing is crystal clear: Kyzir White is ready to wear Patriots silver and blue.

Just Before Kickoff in Lions vs. Rams at SoFi Stadium, Jared Goff Leaves Detroit Fans Speechless — Not With a Pass, But With a Special Gesture Toward Washington That Moved the Entire NFL
SoFi Stadium was blazing bright ahead of the emotionally charged reunion between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams, but just minutes before kickoff, Jared Goff drew every gaze in an unusual way. During his final warm-ups, the Lions quarterback wore a white Wish band with handwritten words: “Towards Washington.” No lengthy explanation needed — that message was enough to bring the atmosphere to a hush. According to internal Lions sources, the wristband was Goff’s way of expressing deep sympathy for the people of Washington state — where a severe flooding disaster is forcing many families to evacuate urgently. On the eve of an iconic game at his former home stadium, Goff chose to use the national stage to turn the NFL’s attention toward people who need compassion more than ever. Entire towns are underwater as widespread, historic flooding grips Washington, caused by days of heavy rain that have pushed rivers to levels never seen before. pic.twitter.com/7EwRcyotCe — AccuWeather (@accuweather) December 12, 2025 Images of Goff warming up at SoFi with the words “Towards Washington” quickly went viral on social media. Lions Nation shared it widely, calling it “a moment of quiet leadership.” No slogans, no showmanship — just a reminder strong enough to rise above all win-loss debates in a pressure-filled week. When asked about the meaning of the wristband, Goff answered slowly: “There are days when football isn’t the biggest thing anymore,” he said. “We have the chance to take the field in front of millions of people. If in that moment, I can remind everyone to think about families in distress who need care, then I think that’s the right thing to do.” The press room fell silent. Before the opening whistle sounded at SoFi Field, Jared Goff had already “scored points” in a way no stat sheet can measure. No matter the outcome against the Rams, that moment transcended the boundaries of one game. For Lions Nation, Goff wasn’t just returning to where his career began — he brought with him the grit, maturity, and heart of Detroit, right when the NFL needed it most.
