It's workable...brings another well respected and loved veteran presence into the locker room at the very least to help the younger guys

 

It is.  I was hoping for a little less guarantee just in case he can't hold up during camp and has to be let go.

I know Tre will work hard to get back some of his skills and the extra time further from the injuries may help a lot.

 

I'm not expecting him to be a starter, but he could be good depth and maybe see time at dime.

Our safety play has not looked good since Micah’s injury. Shortly after that Poyer started to decline and Micah was never truly the same when he came back. To blame all our 3rd down troubles on 2 guys is ridiculous. It was safeties, CBs and LBers and the whole group had problem. Bringing back Tre and Dane do nothing to insure confidence in him. Dane was one of the worst 3rd down DBs I have seen and last year Tre went from starting to bench to be shipped out by December.

 

As far as paying Benford, what good is he in January if he’s unavailable during the biggest games? He’s our #1 so it’s more crucial to lose him than anyone else. 

 

It's not like he has all these soft tissue injuries, he was knocked out cold and unable to return.

I don’t care how’s he’s got injured, I care that he’s missed games in January since they drafted him.

That's not bad at all. He's basically a CB3/4 at this point who should only see the field in dime packages.

Spotrac says $2.88M cap hit with $2.2M guaranteed.

It's a bit more than I hoped for but not too bad.

Seems they hope that Tre makes the 53 man roster.

Imagine saying four years ago that we signed Tre White in 2025 to a one year deal that carried a $2.88m cap hit and thinking that might be a little more than we hoped for.  Life comes at you fast.

4 years isn’t fast in the NFL.

I’m so happy to see that Tre White smile again.  It’s so genuine and shows he is really happy to be back in Buffalo.

Where are all the people now complaining about overpaying him?

 

Seems like a normal deal for a guy like this....

All I can say is …. It would be great to see him regain/excel in his return. Tre is one of the really good guys we’ve had the pleasure to have in our modern era Bills. He couldn’t fake it on any level if he had to. It’s always great to see guys who are just good people. When we see the likes of Tre, Mack Hollins, Mitch Morris (u know who they are) … to name a few (not to mention Josh) …. Ya can’t help but respect guys with that level of tough, dedicated, focused athletic accomplishment, keeping his feet on the ground. …. How I see it anyway  … Think Kyle Williams) ….. GO TRE!    .. GO BILLS

If we bring that Lombardi home this year, I'll be glad he was a part of it. Nothing but ❤️ for Tre.

[Bob in STL]

This move will also help UPL and Devon Levi.

The question with Tre clearly isn't whether knows how to be a starting CB.  The question is how well can he move after numerous injuries.  If he comes in and proves that he can still move even 80 percent of what he used to I could see him as starting CB2.  I hope we draft a CB who is good enough to start at CB2 but I hope it's because he's so good as a rookie that he earns it and not because Tre can't move anymore.  I hope we legitimately have two guys who could start at CB2.

I love this signing because Beane won’t pick a CB out of desperation. If he still takes one at 30, OK. But it won’t feel like Elam

I wonder what Tre's 40 time is presently after a ACL and a achiles injury. I  gotta believe with injury and age hes a few tenths slower.
