I went 6 posts to quote and figure more are complaining about his size and tackling. Did you guys dislike Tre White pre-injury? Hairston is basically Tre in terms of frame and tackling. Shorter arms than Tre but much more athletic. I can see why Sean would be excited. Tre Sr. Is in the building to mentor Tre Jr.

This deserves to be a thread of its own. Pretty obviously a huge reason he’s a Bill.

See.... having Tre didn't prevent us from drafting a CB 👍

Ummmm.... has no one watched Paradise on Hulu??? Seriously?!?!?! Friggin awesome show. Watch it!!!

My expectations are low and that Tre will be CB3 and a locker room glue guy again. But I also think it's unfair to automatically say "if Tre is starting in week 8 and our rookie is on the bench we're doomed" or even any variation of that kind of negativity. I know it's been a few years but Tre was an Elite CB for multiple seasons until November of 2021. He's 30 and turns 31 January 2026. He was 28 when he tore his achilles and 26 when he tore his ACL. Von was 33 when he tore his ACL and even at 35 he came back this past season at the age of 35 and was probably 70% of the old Von. If Tre looks like he did in those first few games of 2023 before the Achilles why would you just pull him off the field for a rookie? Again, these are not my expectations, but I could see it happening given the timeliness. PS: isn't Tre also counting against the dead cap this year, too?

To be fair to Tre, he looked cooked when he came back from the ACL and the following season looked like he was back to form. Maybe he needed the extra year for the Achilles. As some have said, if he's even 80-90% old Tre White this is an awesome signing. At worst, we know he's a team player.

Did you really want us going into next week's draft in desperation mode for CB? Remember 2022? Besides, we're still in desperation mode at DT... but that's easier to fill. I can see Beane increasing our uneasiness in the draft by drafting a CB early, but it'll be Revel or Morrison.

This is awesome and I'm sure almost all the money or most of it is incentives based. I don't want to read this thread for fear of negativity. Great signing! We're still drafting a CB high

Did this board seriously just draft 3 DTs in a row?????

Read about this on The Athletic. It's not just him... the whole situation is terrible. Poor girl!

I think any of us would take it. I'd just like to see them win a Super Bowl after beating the Chiefs in the playoffs at some point... but of course beggars can't be choosers.

Honestly at this point I want us to extend Cook. He said $15m... unless he's a total idiot (not ruling that out) he's gotta know that all he did was set his ceiling in negotiations. Give him a $13m AAV contact and I think he's happy. Even if we stick with the 4 year contract theme and make it a 4 year, $52m deal, it's really a 5 year, $57m deal with his final year of his rookie contract. And I think all these contracts have an out after year 2 of the extension. Cook is young and doesn't have much wear on his tires... I think 3 years of high level play is a good bet.

I believe the Benford extension will actually open up some CAP space considering he was projected to make extra this season with the 4th year performance bonus. So we didn't need to restructure anyone for this signing

ANOTHER team friendly below market deal! $19m AAV for a top 5-7 NFL Corner in this market is insane! And when you factor in the last season of his rookie deal it's even lower. Beane is having an incredible offseason!
