NICE!!!  I wonder if moving him to FS would be considered.  Either way, hopefully he’s healthy and can compete for CB2 / help mentor a rookie

He doesn't have the skill set for that, unfortunately. 

[BuffaloMatt]

His 2024 numbers are horrible. Probability says he will have a better year . . . me thinks he's donezo.

[CoudyBills]

This defense is really taking form.  Geriatric 

[Starr Almighty]

Now sign Bradberry and we can have 2 old CBs on IR by week 1 or 2

Did he? Because all I remember from that Ravens game was him being beat by Keon friggin' Coleman and drawing a PI flag to prevent more.

 

Tre changes nothing. He either makes the squad as depth, in which case Dane Jackson or Ja'Marcus Ingram is gone, or he's cut after Camp. But in no way is he someone they're relying on, in my opinion.

Well clearly Beane disagrees with you and I’ll trust him. He’s better than Dane Jackson and a better option than Bradbury. High character guy / no downside signing. Hopefully we’ll draft someone who can step in right away and Tre will be a solid #3.

He's like the prodigal son returning 

He was the foundational piece of this team. The turnaround from drought to contender started with him.

Interesting? Did you watch any ravens games cuz I watched them all. He wasn’t great but he was good especially at the end of the season. There’s no downside to this / salary cap isn’t real

I wouldn’t say he was like wow good but again for a team struggling with Brandon Stephens I thought he filled in serviceably. I think the Ravens, like the Bills want to upgrade from that

Beane signing him to come to Camp doesn't guarantee he has full trust in him or is relying on him. There's tons of players on this roster right now, guys we've signed as UFA's this offseason, that are guys brought in to compete and he probably isn't expecting to make it. And there's guys every season that are re-signed to their former teams out of respect for them, giving them one last shot.

 

He'll be given a chance to compete. He could make it as a depth guy. He could also just as easily be beaten by Dane Jackson and/or a Rookie they really like and didn't expect to be there for a Double Dip on Day 3.

He doesn't tackle well. He is the last guy you want playing safety.

6.8 million American?  Wth

Thank you!

 

Everyone loves to say "old CB who doesn't have it for Corner anymore? Move them to Safety". That's not how it works. You need to have the traits necessary to make that switch. Tre does not have those traits.

He was terrible with the Rams but Ravens fans and pundits liked they way he played there.

Up to could be doing a lot of heavy lifting.

likely vet minimum guaranteed with potential bonuses

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Let’s just call it like it is. He was the draft pick that actually turned the fortunes of this franchise around. He was the first guy. He was the ground level. From a joke organization and an inexcusable drought, to what we are now. He was the start

[GASabresIUFan]

Tre White PFF grade 2024 52.9

Dane Jackson PFF grade 2024 33.8

 

Rasul Douglas PFF grade 59.2

Elam PFF grade 70.2

 

For some reason I don’t feel better about the changes at CB despite the returnees being former and once again Bills.

Up to $6.8m.  It's a one year $1.75m guaranteed contract that will reach that $6.8m if he is the first person to walk on Mars.

Is there any way to get a split of what his grades and stats were when he was with the Ravens? According to Ravens fans and some pundits he looked a lot better when he joined the Ravens later in the season. Rams fans said he looked completely washed.
