BillsFanForever19 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 It was either White or Douglas. I said it all offseason. It doesn't make any sense to have 3 quality starting CB's for 2 roles. Especially when 1 of them is performing very well under a Day 3 Rookie Contract that is developing, 2 of them are high priced veterans, 1 has an out in their contract, and we have a myriad of starting holes elsewhere and not a lot of money. I originally thought it would be White. But after listening to Beane at the Combine, I thought it was going to be Douglas. But the fact remained, something had to give at CB for the sake of the rest of the roster. Sad to see him go. But as I said earlier - when you remove emotion from the equation, it's kind of a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinceThe70s Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I'm so disappointed that injuries took away such a great and fun Bill from us. I remember sharing a clip of some of Tre's on-field antics with a Jets fan and he thought it was awesome. Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillies Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 My daughter (and I) loved the guy early years. He's 95% the reason my daughter became a huge Bills Fan (in Cincinnati). 2 non-contacts ruined him. A shame. But a guy like him will still do great things to inspire people throughout his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Oh, man. It really hurts to see it become a reality. Thank you so much, Tre, for all the great memories. You balled out for the Bills and were a huge part of putting Buffalo back on the NFL map. You were the best of teammates and we're all proud to call ourselves your fans. Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors; I raise my glass to you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWeatherMan Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 1 hour ago, Spiderweb said: Yes he was... Sometimes your greatest ability is availability. Tre was not available for the greater part of 2021-2024. You can’t have a bunch of old vets on your roster that are coming off major injuries and soaking up a huge portion of your cap. Tre was my favorite player not named Josh Allen. It sucks, but he had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I get the move. It’s a sad day tho. Poyer, White and Hyde were conerstones for the turnaround here and some of the best in the league at their positions for a time. That’s not an easy thing to achieve and we had the joy of watching them. Best of luck guys 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arguing whether he should be retained or not, just that he was a great player before the injuries and that he was coming around to regaining his skills when his Achilles gave out.

MJS Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 He was a pleasure to watch. I hope he goes somewhere and balls out. I could certainly see him intercepting Josh Allen sometime in the future if he plays for an AFC team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Does anyone know if their are implications since he is injured? During training camp I often hear about how you cannot waive an injured player.

BarleyNY Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 On 3/6/2024 at 4:50 PM, HappyDays said: The only thing I don't understand is why the post-6/1 designation? We won't be able to use that $10M until after FA has dried up, unless the plan is to roll it over to 2025. That being said I am really happy that Beane went this route. I did not think he had it in him. The team will need at least that much cap space after 6/1 for extensions, the transition to the 53 man roster, practice squad and in season moves.
