Sign Tre White

[MarlinTheMagician]

First year back - rough year.  Achilles often takes two years.  And we know how he works - he has a chance.  He is looking pretty close, Harbaugh is not stupid and he traded for him.  Bring him home as a backup at the right price.  He is younger than Rasul I think.  What would it cost?   No idea if this could happen, but I would bet they have the conversation.

[Magox]

I tend to agree, I've seen him play some and he has been playing pretty good man coverage.  He just can't be trusted to cover a burner as that has been his liability since his injuries.

I wonder if he’d be open to convert to safety? That would honestly be the only way I envision bringing him back. I love Tre, I really do, but his best days are behind him

He’s not a safety.

 

It is possible they bring him back on a cheap 1 year deal though. Probably competing with a highly drafted rookie at CB.

[ddaryl]

Its a definite possibility considering what he played for last year  and his love for Buffalo / josh etc.. Looks like he is a FA in 2025

As a situational player and a back up I would sign him quickly.. For starter money probabaly pass.

I think that would be worth a try for any team wanting to work with him and for White to have any shot at becoming a starting player.  I don't foresee him being a starting DB any longer but he could possibly become a Nickle DB or safety.

He’s not here for a reason. It’s unfortunate but his injuries have ended his career. No reason to bring him back. Great guy but he adds nothing to the Bills at this time.

I reject the premise of this. 
 

John Harbaugh IS stoopid 

[NickelCity]

Tre cannot be a safety. That's not his game at all, lol. He's not nearly physical enough. C'mon guys. 

[Logic]

This is a WGR call in message board form.

[Max Fischer]

I love Tre and have his jersey, but he's been horrific for the Rams and Ravens. Even with a 25% more recovery he's no where near what he was with the Bills

[stevestojan]

Since our next man up in the secondary is Wolf Blitzer, I’d definitely take a guy who has played the position and knows the team on a flyer. Why not? 
 

Speaking of secondary,  where is Hyde?

I generally don't mind bringing him back as he'll be fully healthy. I think at minimum he would be solid depth but there's also a part of me that says just draft youth, especially in the secondary.

I don't want to admit that because I have so much respect for Tre. It's sad honestly. If he came back it would be strictly as a depth zone CB

I love Tre, but why?  He gave us several good years, but these injuries have taken their toll.  I thank for many fun memories.

I can't believe that this is an actual message board topic the day after we won a Divisional playoff game

He’d just be a depth guy for depth money. Wouldn’t bother me at all. I wouldn’t mind it but I also don’t love hed be taking a spot over a young, raw kid, with some special team upside. 

[Thrivefourfive]

Unnecessary at this point. We’re not about to add situations here, okay pal 

[gonzo1105]

He looked not bad yesterday but it’s so hard to gauge because the Bills just don’t throw outside much. If he’s willing to come back cheap with the possibility of being a backup player than yea especially now that he’s a full year removed from a serious injury. 
 

Elam isn’t in the plans for next year and I believe Douglas walks imo so it’s draft a guy fairly high and bring in a vet to compete 

[Alphadawg7]

Offseason priorities are likely in no particular order:  WR, DL, S, and CB.  
 

I expect some of this to come from before the draft.  That being said, I don’t think Tre solves much for the Bills.  One of the reasons we drafted Elam was because we don’t have a lot of speed in our secondary.  So far he hasn’t been able to get on the field outside as a backup, mostly because Benford has been so good and fits the scheme better too.  
 

I can’t see them going backwards and bringing in an aging vet who lost a step prior to age through bad injuries.  I think we will see us add some youth and speed to secondary over a retread, even if that retread is a former Bills great who is beloved by the team and fanbase.  
 

Now internally, if they think he has FS potential, then maybe they bring him in and try him there, but feels unlikely IMHO even though Tre was always one of my faves.
