If I had to make a decision now I’d drop him. It’s a long shot he’s anything more than a backup QB, but if the Jets are left scrambling after QB Musical Chairs, he may get a shot.Anyone keeping this guy?
It's going to depend a lot on what the Jets do this offseason. He is the clear starter based on the current roster, but it sounds like the Jets are going to try to bring someone in.
Nope. They'll bring someone in. I believe it'll be Rodgers who should thrive with his new Adams and Cobb with Jets.Anyone keeping this guy?
The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt writes to "keep an eye on the Rams" for Jets quarterback Mike White.
White will hit free agency for the first time in 2023. Rosenblatt notes that it is "no secret" that new Rams OC Mike LaFleur preferred White as the starter over Zach Wilson last season in New York. White is expected to draw interest as a "high-end backup" per Rosenblatt, with the Jets likely looking elsewhere for a starting quarterback. It's possible that White could be a bridge starter elsewhere and get more playing time, but players do often follow the coaches that give them chances and Matthew Stafford is coming off a scary spinal contusion in a lost season.

He might be the only silver lining to the Zach Wilson saga - I acquired him due to Zach’s struggles.I think every writer claiming their team could use White on their roster shows this guy is far better than his salary and is thought of in a higher light.
I would definitely sit on him for dynasty.

If white starts anywhere next year, imma be so damn happy.
Was really hoping LAR would pick up White.this is interesting. so they're gonna keep Wilson as the #3 QB then, hmmm...

Do you think White is starter material then? Seemed like a competent backup to me at best but my knowledge of football and eye for talent is shaky at best.Was really hoping LAR would pick up White.this is interesting. so they're gonna keep Wilson as the #3 QB then, hmmm...

I was kinda under the impression once McVay came back, that they'd bring Mayfield back as the backup, as he seemed to really win over the locker room in his brief time starting.Was really hoping LAR would pick up White.this is interesting. so they're gonna keep Wilson as the #3 QB then, hmmm...

Maybe but I wouldn't think Mayfield would want to be a backup with no real shot at starting unless there's an injury, yeah Stafford maybe has health issues but if I'm Mayfield I want to at least compete for a job.I was kinda under the impression once McVay came back, that they'd bring Mayfield back as the backup, as he seemed to really win over the locker room in his brief time starting.Was really hoping LAR would pick up White.this is interesting. so they're gonna keep Wilson as the #3 QB then, hmmm...

If the Jets get their veteran QB (Rodgers/Carr/Jimmy G) and they can't find some sucker to take Zach Wilson, I'd say there's little to no chance they are bringing back Mike White. He's going to look to get paid and the Jets can't sink cap space into a mediocre back-up QB when they're paying a big contract to their starter and paying a decent chunk (No. 2 pick) of money to Wilson as well.Was really hoping LAR would pick up White.
I agree unlikely they'll keep all 3. In which case they're lying about one of them. I think White is more likely to be the backup then Wilson. Wilson may have trade value, White is a FA so the incentive would be to lie about the player they have under contract. It could depend what kind of contract White is able to get from someone else. We'll see how it plays out though.If the Jets get their veteran QB (Rodgers/Carr/Jimmy G) and they can't find some sucker to take Zach Wilson, I'd say there's little to no chance they are bringing back Mike White.

This is a throw away comment from a HC - it's meaningless at this point.
Dolphins signed QB Mike White, formerly of the Jets, to a two-year contract.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal is worth "up to" $16 million. That means the actual cap figure will come in at far less than $16 million, though White can reach the larger number through incentives. The Dolphins were forced to turn to Teddy Bridgewater and eventually Skylar Thompson after Tua Tagovailoa went down last year. Neither player came close to replacing the production of Miami's starter. Dolphins GM Chris Grier mentioned some concerns around Tua's health at the combine, making an upgrade at backup quarterback inevitable. White showed a strong ability to execute a quick passing game and hit short to intermediate throws while in New York. He joins the Dolphins as a far safer insurance policy on their starter than they had in 2022.

He showed flashes in a couple of games, looked bad in several others, and played hurt in some. Seems to have a good arm, but not good under pressure. There's a decent chance that Skylar wins the backup job.I like this kid.
If somehow I can not wish ill will on Tua and a chance for him....
I would be very surprised if Thompson were the backup over White. I doubt they go out and sign a QB on the first available day if they felt confident about that.He showed flashes in a couple of games, looked bad in several others, and played hurt in some.

Agreed...you don't give decent $ to a 3rd stringer.
Skylar is much cheaper, so he doesn't need to be better, just comparable. Skylar did better than the stats indicated - he faced Sauce and the Jets twice, and he nearly beat BUF but had several drops, especially the early long pass to Waddle, and several delay penalties that weren't his fault. White provides good competition for the backup job.I would be very surprised if Thompson were the backup over White.

I don’t follow the logic here.

There's a better chance of Thompson never starting another NFL game again than him beating out Mike White being paid $8MM a year.not a chance.He showed flashes in a couple of games, looked bad in several others, and played hurt in some.

That they both paid White more, and went out and made him a priority FA signing indicates pretty strongly that he’s the QB2. Seems obvious that Miami didn’t like what they had in Skylar.

In all honesty how can you not? Hopefully his concussions are in the past but he already looks so fragile and then you need to worry about multiple head injuries building up.I’ve been worried for TuaKinda makes me worried for Tua.I don’t follow the logic here.

He had 2 serious back to back, and then a 3rd that ended his season, right?In all honesty how can you not? Hopefully his concussions are in the past but he already looks so fragile and then you need to worry about multiple head injuries building up.
