Long-time Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White is experiencing free agency for the first time in his career after being released two years into his four-year extension. Now free to choose his next destination, White has scheduled visits with the Rams and Raiders for this coming week, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. 
White, once the picture of elite cornerback play, has been a shell of his former self in the last three years as he’s struggled with injury. Before his first major injury, White was playing his best football. He made two consecutive Pro Bowls and earned first- and second-team All-Pro honors in those years, as well. Over his first four seasons in the NFL, White tallied 15 interceptions (including a league-leading six in 2019) and 54 passes defensed.
In 2021, he suffered a torn ACL after 11 games, cutting his season short. A three-sport athlete since middle school, White’s mental health suffered as a result of his forced inactivity during recovery. Slow-playing his recovery meant spending the first seven weeks of 2022 on injured reserve and missing three more games before finally making his return. Things went from bad to worse four games into 2023, when White suffered a torn Achilles tendon, another season-ending ailment. He’ll be working his way back from that second long-term injury with whatever team signs him.
The Rams replaced free agent cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon last week with a bit of an upgrade by bringing back Darious Williams from Jacksonville. Plus, the Rams are listing Quentin Lake as a safety on their roster after using him as a nickelback for most of 2023. White would be a nice fit to work in a three-man group with Williams and Derion Kendrick if Lake starts spending more time at safety.
In Las Vegas, the Raiders’ cornerbacks group is looking pretty different. Nickelback Nate Hobbs returns, but starting cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Amik Robertson both hit free agency this week, with Robertson immediately agreeing to a new deal with the Lions. Jakorian Bennett and Jack Jones are the top returning cornerbacks without them, so Las Vegas could certainly use the addition of a veteran defender like White.
Both teams will be hoping to land the talents of White, despite his recent injury. If neither can sign him to a contract, they’re likely to not be the only teams interested. If no news of a deal comes out of these two visits, look for more scheduled stops in the future.
Surely if your White, your not looking for money and your not looking to be the star in the backfield having to do many tough reps.
You’d rather join a stacked team for cheap, allowing yourself time to get back to full fitness and once you return try contribute to a team in the playoffs.
Going to New Orleans makes the most sense to me. It’s his home town team having grown up in Louisiana. Plus in the backfield he’d be playing with Marshon Lattimore amd Tyronn Matthieu.
If you were more ring hungry, Miami isn’t that far from home, great sunny place to live and a team loaded with talent. In the secondary alone he would be playing with Jalen Ramsey, Jevon Holland and Jordan Poyer.
Being apart of a huge playoff run would dramatically increase your market value across the league and then you can that the money
I was with you all the until you mentioned Miami and ring chasing. They lost some of their best defensive players this offseason, have only two picks in the first four rounds and have to pony up big time for a mediocre QB who is one concussion away from retirement. 2023 was their all-in year…
My second favorite Bill, but Im skeptical if he ever gets 100 percent back to form.
Im hoping his career isn’t over, but being a impact starter is unlikely.
He should go to a zone D, (Raiders play 75%)
Man to mans going to be a rough this year, not sure what Rams run mostly
2 major injuries to an aging cb???? ACL alone is enough for one to overcome (speed wise) now you throw in Achilles. Yeah writing was on the wall. Maybe a move to safety would be best for him but it’s gonna have to be a cheap deal.
