Mike White is heading home. The now-former Jets quarterback will sign with the Miami Dolphins, per Adam Schefter.
White, who is from the Miami area, will sign a two-year deal worth up to $16 million. He will serve as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup in Miami with Teddy Bridgewater a free agent.

White battled through fractured ribs over the final month of the season, showing a lot of courage, particularly in the Buffalo game in Week 14. He was always a target for the Dolphins.
As the Jets continue to sit and wait for Aaron Rodgers to make a decision, they are quickly losing their fallback options and now won’t even be able to re-sign White. In any event, good for White as he cashes in, especially in his hometown and in a state that does not have a state income tax.
