The Los Angeles Rams made a key offseason acquisition by signing cornerback Tre’Davious White, a veteran known for his years of solid performance with the Buffalo Bills, where he became one of the NFL’s standout cornerbacks. However, injuries have hindered White in recent seasons, and his play this year has yet to match his past dominance. After starting in the Rams’ first four games, White struggled in coverage, leading the team to bench him once cornerback Darious Williams returned from injured reserve.
Now, as the trade deadline approaches, the Rams are evaluating their options with White, including the possibility of a trade. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, both White and the Rams are open to exploring potential moves, with the understanding that White could also stay on as depth for the team. His one-year, $4.25 million contract makes him a feasible trade option for other teams, especially as injuries increase the demand for cornerbacks league-wide. Despite a challenging season, White’s two Pro Bowl selections and history of reliable play may still attract teams looking to bolster their secondary, even if the Rams may not receive a significant return.
If the Rams choose to retain White, his experience and leadership could prove valuable, especially as they aim to make a playoff push in the highly competitive NFC West. The Rams recently secured an encouraging 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, bringing their record to 3-4, which keeps them in the playoff mix. Head coach Sean McVay has also confirmed that despite some speculation, star receiver Cooper Kupp is not on the trade block, as teams had expressed interest in him amid trade rumors. McVay clarified that Kupp remains central to the Rams’ plans, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to maintaining stability with its core players. With key players returning from injury and the team building momentum, the Rams are positioning themselves to make a playoff run, bolstered by both returning talent and potential mid-season adjustments.
