After picking up the fifth-year option on Tre'Davious White, the Buffalo Bills reportedly want to sign the cornerback to a long-term deal.

"They can use the franchise tag to keep him under team control even longer than that. But they would prefer to lock up their best defensive player to a long-term deal at some point," Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reported.

White is now under team control through 2021, but his next deal could allow him to seek a "market-setting contract."
