The Buffalo Bills and Tre’Davious White have agreed to a reported $70 million dollar contract. Read on…
CelebNSports247.com reports that The Buffalo Bills and 2019 All-Pro Tre’Davious White have agreed to a four-year, $70 million contract extension, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Schefter reports:
Bills are giving CB Tre’Davious White a four-year, $70 million extension, including $55M guaranteed, source tells ESPN. Total value of deal is $82.1M.
White is doing his deal after three years, which makes it even more striking. He is 25 years old and could hit the market again. https://t.co/5CCtjsu5WW

Schefter also noted the deal includes $55 million in guaranteed money. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN added the extension will make White the league’s highest-paid cornerback.
Kevin Conner and Robert Brown, White’s agents, confirmed the deal, per Schefter.
The move comes as White had a team option for 2021 before he’d be eligible for free agency in 2022.
Speaking with WGR Sportsradio 550 in March, general manager Brandon Beane acknowledged the team wanted to sign the 25-year-old to a new contract. However, nailing down the particulars could prove tricky (h/t Bills beat writer Chris Brown):
Any guy that’s been in Tre’s situation that we want back and obviously Tre’ is a guy we love and we want back, you do look and try and find what the value is and it’s hard. It can sometimes be hard for agents too because they’re trying to look at what the market is today versus what’s it going to be in two years. Do they want to play it out? Do they want security now?
