Wants Tre’Davious White around ‘for the longterm’
One of the biggest question marks hovering over the Bills’ offseason relates to a player who is under contract for at least another year.
Tre’Davious White, who emerged as one of the best defensive backs in the league with a 2019 campaign in which he allowed zero touchdowns in coverage, may be in line to become the NFL’s highest-paid cornerback sooner rather than later.
Though White has one more year remaining on his rookie deal (with a potential fifth-year option after that), he is eligible to sign an extension this offseason. Though ultimately inking the reigning an All-Pro to a longterm deal is something that Beane wants to do, he would not disclose if such a contract would be drawn up this summer.
“I don’t really get into contracts, but I’m very proud of Tre’Davious,” Beane said. “He’s a guy we want here for the longterm. Tre’s exactly what I just said, draft, develop, and he has developed and is still developing. I think he can be better than he was even this year.
“The thing I was real proud [of] Tre’Davious this year, most of his play has been steady the whole time, this year he took the ball away, which was big for our defense.
