The Miami Dolphins are in agreement with quarterback Mike White on a two-year deal worth $16 million, ESPN reported Monday.
White, who turns 28 later this month, presumably becomes the primary backup to concussion-prone Tua Tagovailoa, who has played in just 36 career games since being drafted No. 5 overall by Miami in 2020.
The Dolphins still have Skylar Thompson on the roster. Last year’s primary backup, Teddy Bridgewater, is an unrestricted free agent.
White, a South Florida native, went 1-3 as a starter for the New York Jets in 2022 before he was lost to injury. He threw for 1,192 yards, with three touchdowns and four interceptions in a backup role to Zach Wilson.
White has played in eight career games, throwing for 2,145 yards, with eight touchdowns against 12 INTs. He was drafted in the fifth round by Dallas in 2018.
