Last week, the Buffalo Bills released All-Pro cornerback Tre'Davious White, who appears to be an ideal fit for San Francisco's needs opposite Charvarius Ward. Over the weekend, Ward took to social media to reveal that he and White share the same agent and that he is willing to nudge the free-agent defensive back in the right direction.
Ward described White as a "hand in glove fit."
"If y'all want him, [let me know]," Ward later stated on social media.
The Buffalo Bills drafted White (5-11, 192) out of LSU with the No. 27 overall pick in 2017. In a shortened 2023 campaign, he registered 12 tackles, including a tackle for a loss, a quarterback hit, two passes defensed, and an interception, before suffering a torn Achilles.
"White tore his ACL in 2021 and then his Achilles tendon in 2023 -- a string of terrible luck for the former All-Pro," NFL Media's Gregg Rosenthal wrote in his free agent analysis of the player. "Those injuries will depress his value, but he's worth a prove-it deal."
NFL Media's Mike Garafolo reports that the veteran cornerback has visits scheduled with the Los Angeles Rams and Las Vegas Raiders.
White, 29, has recorded 311 tackles, including 12 for a loss, six quarterback hits, three sacks, 68 passes defensed, 18 interceptions, and five forced fumbles in 82 starts throughout his seven NFL seasons. He earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2019 and is a two-time Pro Bowl selection.
San Francisco recently signed former New Orleans Saints cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a one-year deal. He is coming off a career year, earning his highest-ever overall grade from Pro Football Focus—81.1. Opposing quarterbacks owned a passer rating of 84.4 when targeting Yiadom.
