Would You Consider Getting Tre if Cut By the Ravens ?

[Utah John]

It sounds good that the Bills would bring him back on a cheap contract as a depth CB, and the timing would need to be after the FA allocations are determined.  But, the thing is, even depth CBs have to play, and Tre just looks slow.  Possibly this was because he wasn't integrated into the Rams' or Ravens' system and was still thinking about where he needed to be, or maybe he just got injured too much and old.  

 

Tre is where Douglas will be in a year or two.  Paying Douglas a lot just to watch him slide into his slow-running 30s doesn't make sense.

Could do a wait and see, if no teams sign him by early July, means nobody wants him.  I'd then sign him then with understanding, he's likely going to get cut and placed on PS (with a higher than required salary, but not too high either).  Keep him there as insurance in case someone got hurt.  Also would be good opportunity to evaluate how he looks in camp.  Wouldn't play him in pre-season at all either so other teams can't get a look at how he's doing.  If he doesn't look good, then wouldn't even bother with PS option.

 

I say this, but do think he's strong enough that some team will sign him well prior, but  if they don't, then here's plan B

Only if he can convert to safety.  Tre was a warrior for us but the two injuries plus age don’t add up to CB anymore.

Maybe he could be a good centerfielder...

He had significant injuries playing CB when he was younger. No way he holds up as a safety in his 30s - even if he could make the position switch.

No as a CB too. They’d be wasting the roster spot and inviting distraction. I say this despite the fact that he was one of my favorite players.

The Sabres could use a goalie…….

High character guy, knows the D.  Maybe as an assistant db  coach if he wants to take his life in that direction.

[Big Turk]

C'mon...

 

For what? He is washed.

He would make the team.

 

I read that Hamlin is not coming back

Hamlin has previously expressed desire to play in Pittsburg so that may be a possibility. Whether he fits what they want in a safety is unknown.

I’d sign Tre and DE chase young to low incentive driven contracts 

[Beast]

We all love Tre but I’m not looking to add a player, especially a defensive back, that has had two major injuries from the knees and below in the past few seasons.

[gflande1]

Yes, a one day contract, so he can retire a Bill.

He can't play safety in this league.

He's got a better chance of tending goal for the Sabres.

[Doc Brown]

Besides the questionable pass interference I thought T. White looked pretty good in that divisional round game.  I was surprised to see him have that many snaps.  My guess is he re-signs with the Ravens on an incentive type deal.  He's obviously not close to the pre ACL/Achilles injuries.

[BillsFanForever19]

Sure, he can take Micah's spot on the Practice Squad and play the same amount.

 

Edit: The Ravens won't need to cut him. He's a Free Agent. They traded a 6th Round Pick to the Rams for White and a 7th - on a 1 year contract that elapsed at the end of this past season.

 

That said, my original point stands. The guys toast. He was getting beat by Keon Coleman and was moved on by the Rams on his 'prove it deal' with them - after being torched time and again by speed WR's.

Could have used Tre over Elam for about two quarters. 

[RoyBatty is alive]

forget it.

 

1) he is washed, too often hurt.

 

2) he s too small/short for safety

[Gugny]

Hell, no.  He stole enough money from the Bills. 

[davefan66]

Nope. 
 

Not what he was. Even at the level he is at know.

 

Love him, but no.

[That's No Moon]

Nope.

[Cheektowaga Chad]

As a 4th or 5th corner who knows the defense and has shown a willingness to help anywhere as needed

 

Yes

 

He is probably a perfect practice squad player next season for the bills
