Free-agent quarterback Mike White is signing with the Buffalo Bills' practice squad, per Adam Schefter. White has also been a member of the Jets and most recently, the Dolphins, where he's played 14 regular season games, throwing for 2,219 yards, nine touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. This will be White's third AFC East team in as many seasons, but as far as a fantasy asset in 2024, White shouldn't be drafted in any format. As a member of the practice squad, White would have to be activated ahead of time if he were to get any action on the field in the event of a Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky injury. If White does get the opportunity to start, he has looked the part in his limited time on the field.
Free-agent quarterback Mike White, freshly cut by Miami on Sunday, visited the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday in search of a spot on their roster. White was a fifth-round pick in 2018 for the Dallas Cowboys, but never suited up for the team. He's also been a member of the Jets and recently, the Dolphins, where he's played 14 regular season games, throwing for 2,219 yards, nine touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. White would be the backup quarterback at best, but Mitchell Trubisky is also on the roster as he made the 53-man roster. As far as a fantasy asset, White shouldn't be drafted. If he ever gets an opportunity to start, White has looked the part in his limited time on the field.
The Dolphins cut quarterback Mike White on Sunday. He signed a deal with Miami last offseason and served as Tua Tagovailoa's backup in 2023-24. However, with Skylar Thompson earning the job, White will now look for a new employer. The veteran signal-caller was drafted in 2018. Since then, he's appeared in 14 games for the Jets and Dolphins, throwing for 2,219 yards, nine touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, adding 19 carries for negative yardage and a score. Although White could find another team heading into Week 1, his fantasy value can't get much lower, and that's not expected to change anytime soon.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Mike White will serve as Tua Tagovailoa's backup to open the 2023 regular season, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. White was in the league's concussion protocol following the team's second preseason game and was held out of the preseason finale, but he's since cleared the protocols and will back up Tagovailoa heading into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Behind White, Miami has Skylar Thompson at the position. The 28-year-old White played in eight games (seven starts) for the New York Jets the last two years and threw for 2,145 yards while tossing eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Mike White (head) is in concussion protocol and won't practice or play this week, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. White is battling second-year quarterback Skylar Thompson to be the primary backup to Tua Tagovailoa. The 28-year-old played in eight games for the New York Jets over the last two seasons, compiling 2,145 passing yards, eight passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. The winner of the QB2 job should be rostered in deep superflex leagues given Tagovailoa's recent injury misfortunes.
Skylar Thompson, Mike White To Battle For Backup QB Job
Miami Dolphins quarterbacks Skylar Thompson and Mike White are expected to have an open competition for the backup job behind Tua Tagovailoa in training camp and the preseason. Due to injuries to Tagovailoa, Thompson played in seven regular season games (two starts) for the Dolphins in his rookie year and went 60-for-105 (57.1 completion percentage) for 534 passing yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. White probably has the edge after signing a two-year, $8 million deal in free agency. The 28-year-old played in eight games (seven starts) the last two years for the Jets and completed 62.2% of his 307 pass attempts for 2,145 yards, eight TDs and 12 interceptions.
Former New York Jets quarterback Mike White is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Miami Dolphins, worth up to $16 million. White has flashed upside in his eight games played for New York over the last two seasons but ultimately has thrown for just 2,145 yards, eight touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Still, he is viewed as a top-tier backup in the NFL and this gives Miami some insurance on the often-injured Tua Tagovailoa. The team just picked up Tagovailoa's fifth-year option and he'll remain the starter, but White could be worth rostering in deep Superflex or two-QB leagues. Miami has elite weapons and Tua is likely to miss a game or two in 2023.
New York Jets impending free-agent quarterback Mike White is likely to draw interest on the open market this offseason as a high-end backup. White had his moments in 2022 after taking over for the struggling Zach Wilson, but he's injury-prone and commits too many turnovers. He has started only seven games in his NFL game, but he's averaged 308 passing yards and completed 62.1 percent of his passes in six of those starts. Former Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur preferred White as the starter over Wilson, so there's a chance the Los Angeles Rams could be interested in signing White as the backup to Matthew Stafford. The Jets will keep Wilson around for now, but they're expected to make a big splash at the position via a trade or free agency.
Mike White, C.J. Uzomah Ruled Out Against Dolphins
New York Jets quarterback Mike White (ribs) and tight end C.J. Uzomah (ankle) have both officially been ruled out for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins. White is dealing with five fractured ribs after getting beat up again in the Week 17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, so he'll finish the year on the bench. Veteran Joe Flacco will get the start, with Zach Wilson backing him up. In a meaningless game for Gang Green, Flacco will be a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers. Uzomah did very little in his first year in New York, catching 21 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns while working behind Tyler Conklin all year.
New York Jets quarterback Mike White (ribs) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins. Despite the questionable tag, head coach Robert Saleh said on Friday that White will not play in a meaningless game for the Jets after he was beat up again in the Week 17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Instead, veteran Joe Flacco will close out the season under center, with Zach Wilson backing him up. White suffered five fractured ribs in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills. The 27-year-old looked much better than Wilson in his four starts in 2022, but he'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and it's unclear if the Jets have interest in bringing him back to compete for the starting QB gig in 2023.
