As the long stretch of time without Buffalo Bills football continues, let’s keep playing along as if we’re part of the front office and evaluate free agents that Buffalo may, or may not, wish to retain. Today’s look will be cornerback Tre’Davious White, a fan favorite with his second stint with the team. Originally signed to be a mentor to Maxwell Hairston, White found himself in the lineup thanks to injuries.
From an analysis perspective, White should be a fairly easy film review for many of us. White has demonstrated year after year that his football IQ is upper echelon. The only questions on Tre revolve around athleticism. Never an elite athlete to begin with, lower body injuries have taken their toll. How badly? Let’s take a look at the Denver Broncos game to take a look.
Tre’Davious White Film Review
Cutting right to the chase, if I’m the Buffalo Bills I’m already seeing if I can retain Tre’Davious White. The contract offered to White last season was definitively not cost prohibitive and I don’t know if his film would lead to a bidding war. If the Bills can keep Tre at a similar price tag, it’s my opinion that he provides a very solid floor at the position and valuable depth if nothing else.
I reviewed the final game deliberately, much like I looked at the final two for Joey Bosa. This gives the best indication of the level of play after a season of wear and tear. For White, it was a actually better than anticipated. The short version is that injuries do seem to have added up, but White’s on field attention to detail still has him playing solid football.
