Tre’Davious White has found a second home in the NFL. The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback is joining the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million.
This is a big-name signing for Los Angeles as they seek to reconfigure their defensive setup, now that Aaron Donald has retired, it is an opportunity for White to revive his once-ascendant career.
White started his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills in 2017 and finished in second position for Rookie of the Year. He led the league with six interceptions in 2019, his lone All-Pro campaign and first Pro Bowl season, and made the Pro Bowl again the next season with another three picks.
He played 61 games in his first four seasons.
Eleven matches into 2021, he ripped his ACL on Thanksgiving. He worked his way back to play in six regular-season matches in 2022, then got another brutal blow when he tore his Achilles four games into 2023.
White who was ridden with injuries, played in only 21 matches in the past three years. He piqued interest when he became a cap casualty when Buffalo cut players in early March.
Now White’s comeback journey will start with the Rams, where he will play alongside Cobie Durant and the newly-signed Darious Williams on a secondary that ranked 20th in passing yards allowed last season.
He has 18 career interceptions, with 63 passes defended, five forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and a defensive touchdown. The extent of his talent has never been in doubt, it was just recent injuries that stalled his growth.
Hopefully, White will get back on track with the Rams in 2024.
