Buffalo is <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/buffalo-bills-david-edwards-eb1797584634645381545e9ef3e48eba#:~:text=(AP)%20%E2%80%94%20The%20Buffalo%20Bills,Poyer%20and%20center%20Mitch%20Morse.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cleaning up shop<\/a> to create some cap space after they released some star players. They\u2019re also letting go of All-Pro Safety Jordan Poyer and restructuring the contract of veteran pass rusher, Von Miller. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/stories\/nfl\/bills-reportedly-releasing-star-dbs-jordan-poyer-tredavious-white#:~:text=According%20to%20ESPN%2C%20the%20Bills,year%2C%20which%20starts%20March%2013.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to ESPN<\/a>, the team will save roughly $43 million against the salary cap due to the moves.<\/p>\n<p>The team is designating White as a post-June 1 cut, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wkbw.com\/sports\/buffalo-bills\/report-buffalo-bills-to-release-cornerback-tredavious-white#:~:text=(WKBW)%20%E2%80%94%20As%20first%20reported,%246.2%20million%20in%20dead%20money.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to Adam Schefter<\/a>. However, they will only incur $6.2 million in dead money, but they save $10.2 million. The only implication is that White suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week Four. Many teams who may be interested in him are hoping he can return to full health once the season begins.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a busy offseason for the Bills, they\u2019re also cutting Mitch Morse, Deonte Harty and Siran Neal while restructuring the contract of Rasul Douglas. White was drafted in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft and became a staple in the Buffalo Bills secondary. He\u2019s been named to Pro Bowls and selected as an All-Pro two times. White will become the newest high-quality free agent on the market amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>He may be cheaper since he hasn\u2019t played a full season since 2019. It won\u2019t be immediate for White to head to a new team, but his name and success he had could intrigue many teams. For the past three seasons, White has missed 29 games due to injuries, but teams may still offer him a lucrative deal. Here are three potential landing spots for Tre\u2019Davious White.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">More departures on Buffalo\u2019s defense: Bills are releasing two-time Pro-Bowl CB Tre&#39;Davious White, per source.<\/p>\n<p>Buffalo will designate him as a post-June 1 cut, which will save them $10.2 million in salary cap space, with $6.2M in dead money.

It\u2019s likely that Dallas will find someone cheap like White to add to their defensive corps. However, they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/cowboys\/news\/dallas-jamal-adams-cowboys-trade-seattle-seahawks-rumor-cut-retire\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">could likely be interested in Jamal Adams <\/a>and Quandre Diggs from the Seahawks who are cleaning up shop too. They\u2019re more expensive options, so White could be someone to watch if the Cowboys are looking to add to their defensive backfield.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys may need someone to complement both Trevon Diggs and Daron Bland. Diggs was injured for most of last season with a torn ACL, leaving the workload to Bland. However, Bland found success in his first season as a starter until some inconsistencies were showing. He was an interception machine, but his inaccuracies were showing in their disappointing playoff loss against Green Bay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallasnews.com\/sports\/cowboys\/2024\/02\/13\/stephon-gilmore-says-cowboys-are-preferred-free-agency-destination-i-want-to-come-back\/#:~:text=mind%20made%20up.-,The%20veteran%20cornerback%20will%20hit%20the%20free%20agency%20market%20after,returning%20to%20the%20Dallas%20Cowboys.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Veteran Cornerback Stephon Gilmore<\/a> is set to hit the market, so they\u2019ll likely target one either way. White complementing Diggs could bring some relief to Bland to be pushed to the inside.<\/p>\n<h3>Jacksonville Jaguars<\/h3>\n<p>The Jaguars have a glaring hole at the cornerback position, so this means they will address the issue this offseason. Jacksonville recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaguars.com\/news\/official-jaguars-release-darious-williams-rayshawn-jenkins-and-foley-fatukasi#:~:text=Safety%20Rayshawn%20Jenkins%2C%20defensive%20lineman,tenures%20%2D%2D%20have%20been%20released.&amp;text=Jenkins%2C%20who%20signed%20with%20the,games%20the%20past%20three%20seasons.\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released starter, Darious Williams and their safety Rayshawn Jenkins<\/a>. The move helps them create $16.5 million in cap space for the team. The move they are making is pushing the Jaguars into the top 10 for cap space.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll be able to afford White, but if they want to go for an expensive option, then they could. Jacksonville\u2019s performance in the second half of the season fell apart after some visible potential in the first. Adding White to help the opposing side of Tyson Campbell could help fill a hole in their secondary.<\/p>\n<h3>Baltimore Ravens<\/h3>\n<p>This move would be a dream scenario for John Harbaugh and the Ravens defense. White has been stellar when he\u2019s healthy so moving to the Bills\u2019 rival could spark some intrigue for both sides. Once White returns to pre-injury form then he could still be a key asset to the secondary. However, the Ravens would need an opposite to complement <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HumpMa00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marlon Humphrey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Baltimore Ravens adding White after the likes of Ronald Darby and Rock Ya-Sin, leaving for free agency could make sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are three potential landing spots for All-Pro Defensive Back and recently released Buffalo Bill, Tre&#8217;Davious White. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4795,"featured_media":165073,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,3,19,13],"tags":[3177,1274,1901,7638,1063,1921],"class_list":["post-165059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl-news","category-bills","category-cowboys","category-jaguars","tag-jordan-poyer","tag-marlon-humphrey","tag-rasul-douglas","tag-ravens-featured","tag-stephon-gilmore","tag-tredavious-white"],"modified_by":"Anthony Palacios","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165059","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4795"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165059"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165059\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165073"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165059"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165059"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165059"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
