Veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White is officially back with the Bills, but get this, his agents told Adam Schefter the plan is for him to sign onto the practice squad first. The move sets him up to get promoted to the active roster only after he spends some time getting ready. It’s quite the path for a player who was a key starter just last season.
Back To Where It All Started (Again)
This isn’t his first rodeo returning to Buffalo, either. White was a first-round draft pick for the Bills way back in 2017. He bounced around a bit after leaving in free agency for the Rams in 2024, and then got traded to the Ravens that same year. But he was back with Buffalo in 2025, pulling serious weight, starting 16 regular season games and both playoff games for them just last season. Talk about a comeback trail that’s been walked before, right?
The Long Road Back to the Active Roster
It’s been a quiet few months for White, for sure. The 31-year-old cornerback has been a free agent since March, and honestly, there hasn’t been much news around him until this announcement. Now, he’s heading back to what has been his “home for most of his NFL career,” for “one more go.” His agents made it clear he’ll be spending some time getting ready on that practice squad before any promotion to the active roster.
For the Bills, bringing back a veteran like White, even if it’s a slow roll through the practice squad, signals a belief in what he can still bring. Everyone will be watching how he gets ready and when that promotion to the active roster actually happens. It’s truly a “one more go” story for him, and we’ll see how it plays out for the Bills.
