When was the last time TW played a full season of football?

If by should we, you mean sign him, no.

If by should we, you mean cut/trade fellow 2017 1st round pick former pro bowl now injury ridden CB Marshon Lattimore in a parallel move to the Bills releasing his draft twin White, then yes. Neither is worth the ~$20 million salary they are slated to earn and even if the dead cap to cut or trade or is hard to stomach in the first year, in the long term its the right thing to do in order to avoid overpaying year after year and kicking the can.

Although actually, if we really insist on having veteran CB who will probably get injured paired with Taylor and Adebo, it might be more financially responsible to trade or cut Lattimore and his ~$20 million compensation, eat the dead cap hit, and sign White for $5 million on a year to year basis.

Supply and demand dictates the market value for safeties is looking to be way down.

The Safety market is volatile and has crashed before. I can't remember the exact names but I feel like something like this happened about 5 years ago where the Saints rushed to sign some garbage safety from Carolina or Cincinnati who barely played for fairly good money on the first day or two of free agency and then as free agency continued a bunch of top safeties remained unsigned and the Steelers got an elite safety for dirt cheap.

All we can do is buy low - sell high. Not sure we have mastered that yet.
