Tre’Davious White warms up before a Buffalo Bills game.<\/p>\n
Tre\u2019Davious White returned to the Buffalo Bills<\/a> and found a big role in 2025, but is still waiting to find a new home close to a month after the start of free agency.<\/p>\n The Bills had initially cut ties with White in March 2024, part of a series of cap-cutting moves that included the release of some other longtime veterans. White and safety Jordan Poyer both found their way back to the Bills last season and returned to meaningful roles, but White has had a quiet first month of free agency.<\/p>\n Tre\u2019Davious White Could Return to Bills<\/p>\n After spending the 2024 season with the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> and Baltimore Ravens, White had a bounce-back campaign with the Bills last year. He started 16 games, making 40 total tackles with one interception and 10 passes defensed.<\/p>\n There hasn\u2019t been much interest in White since then, with no reported meetings with other teams. As SI.com\u2019s Ralph Ventre<\/a> reported, the Bills showed interest in bringing him back for another year in 2026.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was fun to have Tre back this season. We\u2019re still kind of combing through all those things, so I wouldn\u2019t want to forecast yay or nay. I think it\u2019s still early,\u201d Bills general manager Brandon Beane said at the NFL<\/a> combine in February.<\/p>\n It remains unclear just how much White would fit into the team\u2019s new defensive scheme, Ventre added.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen it comes to potential returnees, one would think the Bills would have at least some interest in bringing back the 31-year-old White although the interest would have been much stronger had head coach Sean McDermott not been fired,\u201d Ventre wrote.<\/p>\n White would likely not break the bank, Ventre added. Sportrac estimated his market value at $1.2 million, which would allow the Bills to keep him on as a backup to Christian Benford and Maxwell Hairston, Ventre wrote.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not clear whether White would feel rushed to make a decision. The longtime veteran didn\u2019t sign with the Bills until late April last offseason, joining well after the first wave of free agency ended.<\/p>\n The Bills have some other core players still waiting for a call in free agency, including Poyer and cornerback Dane Jackson.<\/p>\n Bills Could Address Defense in NFL Draft<\/p>\n The Bills could make more additions to their defense later this month. ESPN analyst Field Yates<\/a> predicted that the Bills would trade back in the draft, landing linebacker C.J. Allen from Georgia with the No. 34 overall pick.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Bills have a significant need at inside linebacker and still get to address it despite moving back eight spots,\u201d Yates wrote. \u201cAllen is the second-best linebacker in my rankings; he\u2019s a physical player with good range and ability to spot drop into coverage. He added 3.5 sacks in 2025, too.\u201d<\/p>\n NFL.com analyst Chad Reuter<\/a> also predicted the Bills would address defense with their first-round pick, taking Texas A&M edge rusher Cashius Howell.<\/p>\n \u201cThis Bills\u2019 new-look defense could use Howell\u2019s speed off the edge,\u201d Reuter wrote. \u201cOpponents will forget all about his short arms (30 \u00bc inches) when he becomes a major pass-rush factor as his rookie campaign progresses.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tNathan Dougherty<\/a> is a sports reporter covering the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.
