These are options the Buffalo Bills will have if they have to replace Tre’Davious White this season.

On Wednesday, Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White mentioned during a Zoom call with media that he still was “undecided” about whether or not he would opt out of the upcoming season.

White mentioned the fact that he does have young children at home and it is clear the health and safety of his family is a priority, as Jon Scott of Spectrum News tweeted. While no one would fault Tre’Davious White for deciding to opt out of the upcoming season, there is no question that not having him on the field would be a major blow to this defense.

Tre’Davious White is coming off a career year where he earned Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro nominations and was tied for the league lead in interceptions with six. The past two years the Bills have finished in the Top 5 against the pass and White has been a huge reason for that success.

If Tre’Davious White does elect to opt out, the Buffalo Bills will have to figure out the best way to replace such a huge part of their defense. This is some options the team will have to replace Tre’Davious White.
