Buffalo Rumblings
Plus, a deal between the Bills and St. John Fisher to hold camp there each summer appears imminent.
Former Pro Bowl cornerback Tre’Davious White was a salary cap casualty during the 2024 NFL offseason, but returned to Orchard Park, NY as a member of the Baltimore Ravens during Buffalo’s AFC Divisional Round triumph over Baltimore in last year’s playoffs.
This offseason, with the Bills searching for help at cornerback, White returned to Western New York on a one-year deal worth up to $6.8 million, and today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off with thoughts on the competition to win the CB2 job opposite Christian Benford and what White brings to Buffalo’s secondary.
When head coach Sean McDermott arrived in Buffalo, his first player drafted was White, the 27th overall selection out of LSU in the 2017 NFL Draft. One year after the Bills released him, White is back and is expected to bring experience and a veteran perspective to a Buffalo defense that has undergone changes this offseason. White, 30, is also expected to compete for a starting role on the outside of Buffalo’s secondary opposite Christian Benford.
According to Bills cornerback coach Jahmile Addae, so far this offseason, Addae has firsthand observed White’s twitch, or his ability to see and react and have limited waste of movement in coverage, saying White “is elite and he still is.”
Ever since 2000, the Bills have called St. John Fisher University in the Rochester, NY suburb of Pittsford their home for training camp, and that tradition will continue this summer when the Bills open camp on July 23. In an interview with Democrat & Chronicle Bills beat reporter Sal Maiorana, Pete Guelli, the Chief Operating Officer of the Bills and Buffalo Sabres, said that a long-term deal between the Bills and Fisher is imminent.
