Las Vegas Raiders have a chance at signing one of the league's best cornerbacks when healthy

The Las Vegas Raiders had a very successful free agency, especially when you look at the Christian Wilkins signing alone. They have a guy to put next to Maxx Crosby, who can also take over games just like his counterpart.

While most of their attention will now largely be on the 2024 NFL Draft, the Raiders still have one more move they can make in free agency. If all goes right, this move could put the Raiders' defense right where they want it. They can get the CB2 they need and someone who would fit perfectly next to Jack Jones and Nate Hobbs.

According to NFL insider Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Las Vegas Raiders scheduled a visit with former All-Pro and Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White. White, who played for the Buffalo Bills, is battling back from a torn Achilles.

Before he got injured, he was a top-three cornerback in this league. If the Raiders could get him at that level or even as a top-10 guy at his position, it would be huge. However, there is one small issue.

Players usually do not return to their former selves after an Achilles injury. So, it would be risky, but if he is willing to take a small amount of money, it would be a gamble the Raiders should be willing to take.

White has been in the NFL since 2017; however, he hasn't played a full season, or close to one, since 2020, when he played 14 games, and the last time he was an All-Pro or Pro Bowler. White would definitely be a risk, but that's what the Raiders need to do if they want to take that next step.
