The Buffalo Bills front office has always shown a fondness for cornerback Tre’Davious White.
With the dust settled on some salary cap moves early on in free agency and White officially being released by the Bills, emotions poured out from the team at the NFL owners meetings.
The team do not want to release talented and fan favorite players like White. But the 29-year-old being cut helped Buffalo get under the 2024 salary cap. On top of that, injuries add up too.
“That’s the hard part about this job,” general manager Brandon Beane said. “There are a lot of hard things, but it doesn’t get harder than saying goodbye to so many of those guys who have meant so much.”
Taking the heartfelt comments even further was Sean McDermott. From the event down in Orlando, the Bills head coach noted how he even “can’t believe” White is no longer n the roster.
“Emotional, right?” McDermott said. “You can’t believe what we’re discussing. You know eventually it’s going to come because of the lifespan of an NFL player, but it came way too early in my mind.”
McDermott’s full commentary can be found in the WKBW-TV clip below:
Pretty raw emotion from Sean McDermott on what his relationship with Tre'Davious White has been like over the years. Really powerful stuff. Great question from @MattParrino #BillsMafia @WKBW pic.twitter.com/530kNCub3R
