MIAMI -- The Dolphins are releasing quarterback Mike White, a source told ESPN, ending a months-long position battle with Skylar Thompson for the backup job behind Tua Tagovailoa.
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. He saw action in six games, completing 5-of-6 passes for 74 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
He split reps with Thompson, 27, throughout the Dolphins' offseason program this year, however, as head coach Mike McDaniel looked to settle the position via a series of stress tests in practice.
