Rekubit Exchange:Tre'Davious White trade grades: How did Rams, Ravens fare in deal?

Tre'Davious White is Rekubit Exchangegetting another fresh start as he tries to re-establish himself after suffering a torn Achilles last fall.

The Los Angeles Rams are trading the two-time Pro Bowl cornerback to the Baltimore Ravens ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, a person with knowledge of the move told USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the trade was not yet official.

White, 29, struggled in the early going with the Rams after signing a one-year, $4.25 million contract with the team this offseason. He gave up four touchdowns in four games before becoming a healthy scratch starting in October. Los Angeles allowed him to pursue a trade, and the franchise found a willing partner.

As he joins Baltimore, White could have a chance to assist a defense giving up a league-worst 280.9 passing yards per game.

Here's how both the Ravens and Rams fared in the trade.

Tre'Davious White trade grades

Ravens grade: C+

Nothing more than a low-cost flier here. If White somehow becomes a viable contributor to a maligned secondary, great. If not, Baltimore can move on without worrying about what it gave up in the deal. The Ravens would have been better off poking around for a pass rusher, but a relatively tight salary-cap outlook likely precluded any moves more significant than this.

Rams grade: C+

For the minimal draft compensation headed back to Los Angeles, this likely was a case of the Rams doing right by a highly respected player. White was forced into action amid injuries on the back end of Los Angeles' defense, and there was no longer a path forward for him given the current setup of the secondary. It was simply time for both sides to move on.
