CBS Sports lists Colts as landing spot for Bills veteran CB Tre’Davious White

The Colts have been projected as a potential free agent suitor for a former 2x NFL All-Pro and Pro Bowl cornerback.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Buffalo Bills are expected to release Pro Bowl veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White as a cap casualty, and CBS Sports lists the Indianapolis Colts among the potential landing spots:

3. CB Tre’Davious White (Buffalo Bills)

White has been a star cornerback for several years now, but he suffered a torn ACL in 2021 and a torn Achilles that ended his 2023 campaign. Those injuries are likely a reason why White is now searching for a new team for the first time in his career, but the two-time Pro Bowler and 2019 interceptions co-leader will still be an intriguing player to watch in free agency.

Landing spots: Lions, Jaguars, Colts

Originally selected by the Bills in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the 29 year old cornerback has developed into a 2x NFL All-Pro and Pro Bowler—but he has been limited by significant injuries in more recent seasons, missing 24 games over the past two seasons.

The 5’11,” 192 pound cornerback (with 31 1/4” arms) recorded 12 tackles (10 solo), an interception, and 2 passes defensed during 4 starts before suffering a season-ending torn Achilles in 2023.

Of course, it seems unlikely that the Colts will leave this offseason without signing a veteran at either cornerback or safety in their depleted secondary.

White would fit the bill at cornerback, providing a veteran on the other side of 2nd-year JuJu Brents and allow the Colts to focus their early draft capital on other positional needs.

In some respects, it would be similar to Indy’s Xavier Rhodes signing of a few years ago, as the fellow former Pro Bowler proved to be a solid starting short-term fit.
