A first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the LSU product spent his early years establishing himself as one of the league&#8217;s top cornerbacks. Immediately making an impact, White finished <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/awards\/awards_2017.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">second in Defensive Rookie of the Year<\/a> voting and made two Pro Bowls while earning First-Team All-Pro honors during his tenure with Buffalo.<\/p>\n<p>White eventually signed a long-term deal with the Bills and looked like the future of their defense. Unfortunately, injuries limited him to a combined 10 games from 2022 to 2023, and Buffalo had no choice but to cut the high-priced veteran. While signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Rams, but the season has not gone according to plan. Maybe injuries permanently stole his physical gifts, but a team like the Kansas City Chiefs or Baltimore Ravens could make a low-risk trade for Tre&#8217;Davious White.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rams?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Rams<\/a> have given CB Tre&#39;Davious White permission to seek a trade. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vxc4dgtA5t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/vxc4dgtA5t<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MySportsUpdate\/status\/1850993735091245322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">October 28, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Rams Tre&#8217;Davious White Requests Trade &#8211; Chiefs, Ravens Top Fits<\/h2>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs entered the trade deadline with questions at wide receiver, edge rusher, and cornerback. After <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/10\/23\/deandre-hopkins-fantasy-outlook-after-being-traded-to-chiefs\/\" target=\"_self\">trading for DeAndre Hopkins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/10\/27\/patriots-josh-uche-trade-healthy-scratch\/\" target=\"_self\">former Patriot Josh Uche<\/a>, cornerback is the lone position of need remaining on this roster. Trent McDuffie is a star and one of the elite players at his position, but he can&#8217;t cover the entire field by himself. After losing L&#8217;Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans, former fourth-round pick Jaylen Watson stepped up and adequately filled the void. However, <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/jaylen-watson-injury-update-chiefs-cb-to-have-surgery-on-broken-ankle-could-be-done-for-season-per-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watson suffered a season-ending ankle injury<\/a>, which could force a Tre&#8217;Davious White trade.<\/p>\n<p>General manager Brett Veach has done a remarkable job of finding cost-effective players on the trade market and Tre&#8217;Davious White could be this team&#8217;s next low-risk, medium-reward addition. Seeing as he struggled with the Los Angeles Rams, Veach and company could probably acquire him for a conditional seventh-round pick &#8211; perhaps the same one they acquired in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/03\/23\/kansas-city-chiefs-trade-ljarius-sneed-tennessee-titans\/\" target=\"_self\">L&#8217;Jarius Sneed trade<\/a>. If it works out, the Chiefs will bolster one of the league&#8217;s better defenses. If it doesn&#8217;t, then Kansas City gave up practically nothing, and the team will survive with one fewer seventh-round selection.<\/p>\n<h3>Fixing An Injured Secondary<\/h3>\n<p>Week 8&#8217;s loss to the Cleveland Browns showed the Baltimore Ravens still have work to do if they want to join the league&#8217;s elite contenders. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/09\/23\/ravens-lamar-jackson-john-harbaugh-comments-cowboys\/\" target=\"_self\">Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry<\/a> form one of the league&#8217;s most unstoppable duos, but Jameis Winston showed what happens when opposing teams can go blow-for-blow with Baltimore&#8217;s high-octane offense. With Marlon Humphrey and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/01\/05\/nate-wiggins-2024-nfl-draft-profile\/\" target=\"_self\">first-round pick Nate Wiggins<\/a> battling injuries, a Tre&#8217;Davious White trade could bring some much-needed depth to a cornerback room that could use some help.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Humphrey and Wiggins return to the field, Baltimore should still trade for Tre&#8217;Davious White. While Humphrey remains his usual reliable self, Wiggins has endured the growing pains typical of young NFL prospects. While nobody is saying the Clemson product cannot become a valuable part of a defense, it is fair to suggest he needs time in a reduced role to adjust to the NFL level. The Ravens are playing for a championship right now, and they can&#8217;t let their chances of glory be interrupted by allowing Wiggins to learn on the fly.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Gary A.
