Bills' newest WR abruptly retires before playing a game in Buffalo

David White is stepping away.

The Buffalo Bills just signed a new wide receiver earlier this week.

But it turns out he won't be playing for the Bills, or any NFL team, after all.

On Saturday, Buffalo placed David White on the reserve/retired list. The 25-year old pass catcher is stepping away from football.

White was an undrafted rookie in 2024 who had spent his college career at Valdosta State and then Western Carolina. 

He signed with the Jaguars out of college, but he tore his ACL in OTAs and never got to suit up for the Jags.

The Bills signed White on July 22, but he had retired by July 26.

Over four college seasons, two apiece at Valdosta State and WCU, White had 94 catches for 1,442 yards and 19 TDs.

The 6-foot-4, 200-pound receiver out of Jacksonville always looked the part.

White did make it to Bills training camp before retiring. He's pictured signing autographs for fans in one photograph from earlier in the week.

But, whether for injury or a different reason, White's NFL career now appears abruptly over.
