Dolphins pick Mike White over Skylar Thompson to be QB2

[JH]

MIAMI -- The Dolphins named Mike White as their backup quarterback, coach
Mike McDaniel said Monday, after a monthslong competition with Skylar
Thompson.

On four occasions last season, the Dolphins were forced to turn to a
backup quarterback after their starter was knocked out of a game. They
signed White to a two-year, $8 million contract this offseason with $4.5
million guaranteed to operate as the primary backup to Tua Tagovailoa and
he competed with the 2022 seventh-round pick Thompson throughout the
summer for the job.

Since becoming the Dolphins' starter during the 2020 season, Tagovailoa
has yet to play a full season because of injuries, appearing in 13 games
each of the past two years. Last season, Tagovailoa was sidelined by two
diagnosed concussions, but he bulked up his frame this offseason and took
jiu-jitsu classes to prepare him better to protect himself when he falls
to the ground.
