Who Should I Start? Mike White or David Blough

Monday, August 25, 6:51 PM

The Buffalo Bills released quarterback Mike White on Monday, a source told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. White entered training camp this summer with a chance to compete for the backup QB role with Mitchell Trubisky behind starter Josh Allen, but he was unable to make the final 53-man roster heading into the regular season. There's a chance that the 30-year-old veteran could wind up back on Buffalo's practice squad if he doesn't get picked up by another team before Week 1 in early September. White was originally drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the fifth round (171st overall) in 2018, but he didn't step foot onto an NFL field until 2021 with the New York Jets. All seven of White's NFL starts came in his first two years with the Jets, and he's gone just 8-for-17 for 102 yards, one touchdown and one interception in seven games the last two years with Miami and Buffalo.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets have requested to interview Washington Commanders assistant David Blough for their vacant quarterback coach position, while the Chicago Bears are seeking to interview him for their pass game coordinator role. Blough, a five-year NFL quarterback, was on the Detroit Lions practice squad in 2023 before joining the coaching ranks in Washington as the assistant quarterbacks coach. After the breakout rookie campaign from Jayden Daniels, it's no surprise he is drawing interest around the NFL for franchises building new staffs. The 29-year-old could make his way up the coaching ladder in short order if he excels with a potential promotion in 2025.
