Mike White is UFA after this season


Recommended Posts

Mike White is an unrestricted free agent after this season. How much is that factoring into the current dilemma the Jets find themselves? Do they give him an opportunity to showcase himself against a weak Jax secondary, a horrid Seahawks D, and then at Miami? Or, do they hope that ZW can take advantage of the same softer defenses, gain confidence, give the fans hope in the offseason, and eliminate a QB controversy in 2023? All this is assuming that JD sees the playoffs as just a pipedream this year.

Is there a better situation in the NFL for him going into next year than the jets? Nobody is going to sign him to be their starter. At best, he’s going to be competing for a starting role, but more likely, he’d be signed as a back up. Why go elsewhere when he’s already in the ideal situation? By next year, Zach’s job will be up for grabs, the draft capital spent on him will no longer protect his grasp on the starting gig. Assuming the money is equal and the jets want to keep him, I can’t really think of a landing spot that will offer him more upside. He knows the players, the system, and will likely have some sort of a shot at starting games here.

MW is a franchise QB and will be paid accordingly. Hopefully by the Jets

LOL

There were Jets fans hailing this guy as a potential franchise QB last year, and then the Jets proceeded to slap him with the original round tender (5th round) and no team bit on it.

Mike White will stick around the league for another 5 or so years as a quality backup in the Case Keenum/Teddy Bridgewater/Jacoby Brissett mold.

No one is handing this guy the keys unless their starter gets injured, and they sure as hell aren’t paying him franchise dollars.

As much as Zach has sucked at the basic fundamentals of the position, he still has a better chance of being the Jets QB in 2023 and beyond than Mike White does.

Ideally, and I don’t care how much some Jets fans couldn’t stomach it, you lure Brady here for 2 or 3 years and grab a high upside QB in the mid rounds to develop behind him.

Brady could still be playing at 50 and post 3800 yards, 25 TD’s, 10 INT’s and still be better than half of the starters in the league.

the Lions were a weak lax defense coming into the game.
