Bills GM leaves door open for reunion with beloved former All-Pro cornerback

The Buffalo Bills brought Tre'Davious White back last year as a low-risk addition. He became a key contributor.

It could happen again.

General manager Brandon Beane said Monday the team could revisit a reunion with White after the NFL Draft, leaving open the possibility that one of the franchise's most recognizable players of the last decade returns for another stint.

"We love Tre'Davious," Beane said. "I think at this point we're waiting through the draft, and he probably is as well. But you'd never close the door on bringing a guy like Tre back to Buffalo."

White, 30, returned to the Bills last season on a one-year deal as a veteran depth piece and mentor to the team's young cornerbacks, including 2025 first-round pick Maxwell Hairston.

He ended up leading by example on the field. White started 16 games in 2025, recording 40 tackles, six tackles for loss, one interception and 10 pass breakups. He allowed a 51.1% completion rate on 47 targets for 247 yards and two touchdowns.

His bounce-back season came after a stretch of injuries. White played just 21 games from 2022-2024 after suffering a torn ACL and torn Achilles. He was released by Buffalo in 2024, spent time with the Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens, then returned to the Bills last season.

“I told my agent, 'If you can't get Buffalo on the line, just don't call me,’” White said after he signed last year.

A first-round pick (No. 27 overall) in 2017, White was a first-team All-Pro in 2019 and second-team All-Pro in 2020.

A reunion could depend on how the Bills address cornerback in the draft and if White still believes he can compete for playing time.
