Bills $69 Million Cornerback Named as Potential Cut Candidate This Offseason
Buscaglia had previously proposed a potential solution for the Bills regarding Tre’Davious White’s contract situation, suggesting the team could offer him an extension that restructures his 2024 salary and bonuses into a fully guaranteed signing bonus while adding two additional non-guaranteed years until 2027, allowing for the salary to be prorated.
Despite White’s series of season-ending injuries, General Manager Brandon Beane has emphasized the team’s continued appreciation for the All-Pro cornerback. Speaking to reporters during a season-ending press conference, Beane commended White for his diligent rehabilitation efforts following his 2021 ACL injury, only to encounter another setback with an Achilles injury after an impactful game against the Miami Dolphins.

Beane emphasized the Bills’ commitment to supporting White’s recovery process and did not hint at any intention to part ways with him. While expressing a desire to see White return to the field, Beane refrained from confirming whether White would automatically regain his starting position, particularly given the strong performances of Christian Benford in his second season and the notable contribution of Rasul Douglas, acquired during the trade deadline.
Beane clarified that the primary focus remains on White’s health and getting him back to playing condition. He indicated that discussions regarding the team’s cornerback lineup for the upcoming season have not yet taken place in detail, highlighting the depth the team currently possesses in the position. However, Beane underscored the undeniable talent of a healthy Tre’Davious White, emphasizing the team’s desire to have him back on the field if feasible.
