Should Jets Consider Mike White Reunion to Fill QB3 Role?

[JetNation]

Should the Jets be considering a reunion with quarterback Mike White?  As absurd as it may sound to some, we think the answer may be yes.

With Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor occupying the top two spots on their quarterback depth chart, there are some durability concerns.  Even if you feel current backups Andrew Peasley and Adrian Martinez have some potential, neither appear ready to step in and take live snaps in a real game.

After all of the injuries the Jets dealt with last season, they should be looking to reinforce every position on the roster with as many upgrades as possible.  With Mike White as their QB3, an upgrade is exactly what he would be.

So while he won’t make anyone forget Peyton Manning anytime soon, that doesn’t mean a player like White wouldn’t have any value to Gang Green if they needed him to step in for a game or two.

No. He was a pretty good fit for the LaFleur offense (presumably why Miami signed him in the first place) but he’s nothing special and there’s no reason to considering bringing him back.

[Klecko73isGod]

No

He can do so much better.

[shevys]

Give me Martinez over Mike White any day.

He couldn't beat out Skylar Thompson. I'm not sure he's going to have many options.

[OilfieldJet]

No

Might have been a cap saving move though. I believe Mike White makes 8 mill a year.

Hell yeah!! I would really appreciate it

He signed a 2 year, 8 mil contract. He collected 4.5 million of it already.

It’s a weird little horizontal system designed for the Garoppolos of the world. 

[Creepy Lurker]

We need a successor to AR and to begin our dynasty so of course. 

[Larz]

He’s pushing 30 and he just got beat out by Skylar Thompson 

The one thing an emergency QB must have is durability. 
 

god forbid it happens, but if the Jets have to go to a third QB he has to last more than 6 quarters

 

go with a young guy that can develop.

He signed a 2 yr, 16 mill deal.

No he didn't.

Mike White signed a 2 year , $8,000,000 contract with the Miami Dolphins, including $3,420,000 signing bonus, $4,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $4,000,000.

It won’t happen.

But, sure he’s a high end QB3 (if that exists)

[MTJ06]

Yes it will be great! The first time Aaron Rodgers throws an interception we will have people here screaming to start Mike Fing White…

You might be right but reports were saying 2 years, 16 mill.

That said "up to." But at the end of the day it was 2 years, 8 mil.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40989247/source-dolphins-cut-mike-white-skylar-thompson-wins-qb2-job

"White, 29, signed a two-year deal worth $8 million with Miami last offseason and operated as the Dolphins' backup quarterback throughout the 2023 season."

This one. If the cry for a QB3 is that our top 2 aren't durable, bringing in a glass QB3 ain't it.

Anyone got ideas on different QB3? I'm not sure any current free agents strike my fancy, but maybe camp cuts will help.

Ideally that 3rd QB spot should be a development guy, not a retread.

Let's not and say we did

I first read that as ”not a R word” and laughed. Sorry.

Same. I had flashbacks of Zach Wilson for a second there.
