Bengals Cut QB Mike White

It’s a shakeup of the quarterback room in Cincinnati, though perhaps not the one people expected. 

His spot on the practice squad was filled by signing DT Howard Cross.

White, 30, is a former fifth-round pick of the Cowboys back in 2018. He signed a four-year, $2.7 million contract with Dallas, but was waived coming out of the preseason in 2019. 

White signed on to the Jets’ practice squad soon after and was on and off their practice squad. He re-signed with the Jets as a restricted free agent in 2022 on the original-round tender worth $2.54 million.

As an unrestricted free agent in 2023, White signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Dolphins. He was entering the second year of that deal and owed a $3.5 million base salary for 2024 when Miami cut him loose in August and he quickly caught on with the Bills. 

White signed to the active roster before the season ended but he was among the final roster cuts this year. The Bengals signed him to the practice squad. 

In 2023, White appeared in six games for the Dolphins and completed five of his six passing attempts for 74 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
