Maybe y'all are right, but I'm still a big Tre' fan. He was notoriously slow to get back into form after the ACL. It may be the same with the Achilles and he may eventually find his form before he ages out. He’ll never be the guy he used to be, but anything reasonably close is someone I’d take a good look at. 1 1 Quote
JimBob2232 Posted October 26 Posted October 26 one of my favorite bills of all time. Love to have him back - but admittedly its not the right move for the team. Sign him to a 1 day contract at the end of his career. 1 Quote
akcash Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I don’t care if anybody has an issue with this, beef him up and become a safety. Whether it’s as a Bill or another team. Dudes got too much instinct and ability not to make the conversion. Even if it’s in a backup capacity. 1 1 Quote

It takes more than beefing up, it takes “want to”. 1 Quote

But it wasn’t the level that people brought it up to. He made a lot of instinctual tfls too. 1 Quote

Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy! But I’m going to be realistic as well. I’d take a look if he’s free next season. That’s about all I’d commit to. 3 Quote
vincec Posted October 26 Posted October 26 I wouldn't trade anything for him now, but if you believe in the principle of "buy low, sell high" then maybe take a flyer on him next season. He had a major leg injury just last year and his play should improve when he fully recovers. I think there's a chance that he develops into solid depth in the right system. 1 Quote

This could be an absolute perfect opportunity here to make this move and let him close out his career where he should be. Move him to S. He knows the defense, his skill set is absolutely transferable. He absolutely can handle every aspect of it. Bring back an all time Bill and fan favorite and help fix the issue you have back there. I’d be all for it if you can make the money work. Tre White is a terrible tackler. He would not be a good safety. Guys like Benford or Douglas would be better safeties because they excel in zone coverage and are great tacklers. White is not like that. Some people have been throwing around Elam as a safety. That is even more foolish than thinking White could be a safety. Elam is a man coverage corner. Zone has been more of a struggle. He would be a terrible safety. 3 Quote
PonyBoy Posted October 26 Posted October 26 This board has a thread that Keon is slow??... No thanks, Tre got some tough breaks, but a lot of love on this board. Show is over for him here if we truly want to win a Superbowl. Quote
benderbender Posted October 26 Posted October 26 The most bitter irony is that goaltending was the Achilles heel of the Sabres for his entire career 1 1 Quote

Only 14 cornerbacks on rosters over age 30. two; of these, Ramsey and Wallace grade out in the top 10. Top graded cornerback in the league [tho with limited snap count] is our own Kaiir Elam. If you have access I'd love to know where Rasul and Benford stack up. Thanks! Quote
Utah John Posted October 26 Posted October 26 The info I found online says White signed a 1 year, $10M contract with the Rams after he was released by the Bills. If the Bills or any other team trades for him, they're responsible for the balance of that contract which seems insane. The Rams must be kicking themselves about giving that much to an older player. If the Rams outright release White, he can sign elsewhere for whatever he can negotiate. Maybe the Bills, if he's willing to take the vet minimum. Quote

eball Posted October 26 Posted October 26 He can always fall back on his goaltending school for income… Quote
Beast Posted October 26 Posted October 26 (edited) Beef him up and sign him as a Safety. If that doesn’t work, beef him up more and see if he can back up Bernard. If all else fails, we could use depth on the d-line. Tre this off-season: Edited October 26 by Beast 1 2 Quote

If no one picks him up then yes I would consider a cheap 1 yr deal as a backup CB. But under no circumstances do I start him or pay him anything close to the Rams generous deal. Those 2 injuries were devastating. Quote
HOUSE Posted October 27 Posted October 27 The guy had a few pretty serious injuries and I feel sorry for the guy. It's time to hang em up Tre. 1 Quote
