Bills Seek CB3: Re-signing White or drafting new talent?
22 Mar
Summary
- Bills need a reliable second-string cornerback for the upcoming season.
- Veteran Tre'Davious White remains an option, with a market value of $1.2 million.
- The team might draft a cornerback in Round 3 or explore veteran free agents.
As the NFL's pass-heavy nature demands depth at cornerback, the Buffalo Bills are prioritizing the CB3 position for defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard's inaugural season. Following rookie Maxwell Hairston's early training camp injury, veteran Tre'Davious White stepped up significantly last season, starting 16 games. With White now an unrestricted free agent, the Bills need to secure a dependable second-string cornerback.
Buffalo has signed Dee Alford, but he is expected to primarily fill the slot corner role. General Manager Brandon Beane indicated that decisions regarding White, who performed admirably in 2025 and is valued by the team and fans, are still being made. White's estimated market value is $1.2 million, a potentially attractive figure for the Bills.
To address the cornerback need, the Bills have several options. They could use their No. 26 overall draft pick, though a Day 2 selection, perhaps in Round 3 at pick No. 91, seems more likely for White's potential successor. Prospects like Texas A&M's Will Lee III or Texas's Malik Muhammad could be targets. If White isn't in the team's plans, veteran free agents such as Jeff Okudah, Adoree Jackson, or former Bill Rasul Douglas present experienced alternatives, though Douglas is projected to command a higher salary.
