Popular Post mrcoops Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 $5M-$6M a year seems about right for Mike White, as a solid backup option. Anyone paying more than that is overpaying. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Irish Jet Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 Not a chance he's re-signed. Too much will be invested in the starter and the suits upstairs will demand Zach be the backup. The upside of him knowing the offence has gone now with MLF. He should be brought back but it's not happening. He will be a great backup for any team. We'll be stuck with Zach. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bortles, you can get for vet minimum or very close to it. He's earned practically nothing the last few seasons. That's if he wants a job - he quietly retired a short time ago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 i suppose there's a chance the jets will look at white as a possible starter for this season's team. even though he got injured doesn't mean he's a china doll like chaddy was. he took quite a hit. just about any qb would've folded after that one. but the issue is can he play big enough in the spots where he'll have to win a game? hard to say. the team moved the ball but the only team they scored points on with mfw was chicago. bart starr wasn't the best athlete or passer on the packers. lombardi picked him because he knew how to play the game and was a winner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If I’m MW, there’s no chance I stay here even if they offer the most $$$. It’s already proven out over 2 years that whatever advocates I have left in the building have little to no influence on excisions. I’d go where I’m wanted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can’t seem to put the ball into the EZ and win when it’s needed. I like him and would resign him but I’m not losing sleep over losing him to another team.

Bleedin Green Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 He's a quality backup and at QB that comes with a heavier price tag than some starters, so the range sounds pretty likely, with the upper end of that only probably being reached if there's any team in a QB mess thinking of bringing him into an open competition. As others have pointed out though, it's unlikely he sticks around with the Jets, short of things going so bad at the start of JD's QB hunt over the next month that he fully panics and suddenly becomes the highest bidder by a decent margin.

Claymation Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 He's the Quincy Enunwa of QBs, anyone who signs him should expects an injured backup half of the time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntDice Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If a vet is brought in with a higher end starters contract, zachs, and a cheap vet/rookie is more than enough. This team is strapped for cash there is no need in wasting another 6 mil on a backup qb who can’t stay on the field or score tds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy like Bortles or similar only works if you have a guy like Rodgers or Carr, and you want a minimum salary vet to help out in camp and in the meeting room. Most likely, if the Jets land a Rodgers or Carr, Wilson is the backup and Streveler or a rookie is the 3rd guy earning the minimum. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White was a dumpster fire? He didn’t seize the moment despite flashing but lost close games to 2 of the better teams in the league. He looked amazing against Chicago but that was a horrible team. He was trash playing with injured ribs and a team that already mailed it in. Still inconclusive with White but it’s on him to not have made a definitive statement with his opportunity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 5 million for a backup with his upside, that's a bargain. I'd bring him back in a second at that price. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoJetsy Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 It’s still a west coast system and Mike White will learn it quicker than Zach, this league has proven with all the QB injuries that your #2 better be damn good and ready to play. Only 12 starters played every game this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
