New York Jets fans love Mike White. New York Jets players love Mike White. The New York Jets coaching staff loves Mike White.
But the Jets’ salary cap? It might not love Mike White so much.
After White’s three-game stretch in which he looked like a legitimate starting quarterback in the NFL, multiple cracked ribs produced a two-game absence followed by a forgettable performance against the Seahawks. White sat out the season finale against the Dolphins, having aggravated his rib injury.
The ending of the season was sour, but ESPN’s Rich Cimini believes that White’s three-game sample size was enough to earn him some sizable cash.
