The Los Angeles Rams have added to their defense less than two weeks after the retirement of Aaron Donald.
Veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White is signing a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with the Rams, a person familiar with the situation confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to discuss the deal.
White was one of USA TODAY Sports’ top free agents available.
The 29-year-old cornerback was cut by the Buffalo Bills this offseason following seven seasons in upstate New York. White’s release was part of a flurry of moves that helped the Bills get under the salary cap before the March 13 new league year start date.
White is a two-time Pro Bowler and was named a first-team All-Pro in 2019 when he shared the league lead in interceptions. However, White has battled injuries the past three seasons, playing in a combined 21 games. He suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in 2023.

The Bills drafted White in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft.
How Tre’Davious White fits with Rams?
White is low-risk, high-reward addition for the Rams defense.
The Rams signed safety Kamren Curl and cornerback Darious Williams as they attempt to upgrade their secondary this offseason. White could start on the opposite side of Williams. Los Angeles also has corners Cobie Durant and Tre Tomlinson.
White is the most proven and experienced cornerback in the Rams’ secondary. The only concern is his durability as he’s went through his fair share of injuries.
The eighth-year cornerback has produced 311 tackles, 68 passes defended and 18 interceptions in 82 career games.
