White is returning to Buffalo after a brief stint in Baltimore
At the midseason trade deadline last year, the Baltimore Ravens acquired cornerback Tre’Davious White from the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round draft pick. White was a bit of an afterthought having suffered multiple extended-absence injuries over the past several years, but wound up playing an important depth role for the Ravens.
Down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs, White played regular snaps at cornerback and had a few notable pass breakups. More importantly, he generally did not give up big plays in the backend.
The eight-year veteran’s performance earned himself a new contract with his former team, the Buffalo Bills. White and the Bills agreed to terms on a one-year deal worth up $6.8 million on Thursday evening.
Bills and CB Tre White reached agreement today on a one-year deal worth up to $6.8 million, per his agents Kevin Conner and Robert Brown of @UniSportsMgmt. White now returns to Buffalo, where he played from 2017-‘23 and was a two-time Pro-Bowl selection.

Some thought the Ravens could look to retain White on a low-cost contract, but after the team signed free agent Chidobe Awuzie a few weeks ago, that idea essentially was all but dissolved. Awuzie will replace White as the veteran depth piece at the cornerback position on the Ravens’ depth chart.
White had a strong start to his career after being drafted in 2017, quickly establishing himself as a top-tier cornerback in the league. In his first four seasons, he made multiple Pro Bowls and All-Pro Teams with the Bills. However, multiple season-ending injuries in the early 2020s contributed to a downward spiral of his career trajectory.
Now, at 30 years old, the former first-round pick has a chance to revive himself in Buffalo again. The Ravens will play against White and the Bills on the road sometime next season, in a pivotal rematch of last year’s divisional round playoff matchup. White played 33 defensive snaps for the Ravens in that game. This time around, White will be on the opposite team.
