According to the Miami Herald on Sunday, the Dolphins want to cut veteran quarterback Mike White, leaving Skylar Thompson as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup. According to the source, the team is also cutting tight end Jody Fortson. In the Dolphins’ 24-12 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday night, Thompson had more reps than White. White also played. White took a sack and completed 5 of 9 passes for 37 yards. With two touchdowns, an interception, and 190 yards from completion, Thompson completed 19 of 27 throws. White, 29, spent two seasons (2021–2022) with the New York Jets and the final season with the Dolphins after being selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. White has made 14 appearances, starting seven of them with a 2-5 record, with a career completion percentage of 62.6 percent for 2,219 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. White signed a two-year, $8 million contract last year, with one year left on it. Fortson, 28, caught 14 catches for 155 yards and four touchdowns in 19 games (one start) for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021–2022. He joined with the Dolphins in May after playing the whole 2023 season on injured reserve. The Miami depth chart lists Jonnu Smith and Durham Smythe as the top tight ends. –Media at the Field Level Copyright 2024 Field Level Media – All Rights Reserved Originally released on August 25, 2024, at 9:01 AM.
