Mike White Targeting Either Dolphins Or Jets In Free Agency

In the last two seasons, quarterback Mike White has become a bit of a cult hero for the New York Jets fan base. In seasons when the team struggled, he provided a little bit of hope and optimism, outperforming virtually all expectations that were placed on him.

During his first career start in 2021 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Mike White shocked everyone. He completed 82.22 percent of his passes for 405 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in an upset victory.

An injury the following week against the Indianapolis Colts stalled what was another hot start. But, the wheels came off in Week 10 against the New England Patriots before Zach Wilson took over the starting role again.

2022 was a similar path. Mike White replaced Wilson in the starting lineup and had a huge first game against the Chicago Bears. He completed 78.57 percent of his passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions.

Mike White kept the Jets alive against the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills for the next two weeks, but the team fell short and he was injured. He returned to the lineup three weeks later against the Seattle Seahawks but it was a disastrous performance as the Jets lost in embarrassing fashion.

Now a free agent, Mike White could be on the move. He will likely have to wait until some of the bigger names are off the board in free agency, but he has his sights set on two franchises; the Miami Dolphins or returning to the Jets. JPAFootball on Twitter shared the update from The Joe Rose Show.
