Who Should I Start? Mike White or Easton Stick

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.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Easton Stick was released on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The move helped the Falcons trim their roster down to 53 players, and it leaves Atlanta with only Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins in its quarterback room. Stick appeared in all three preseason games, completing 54 of 78 pass attempts for 520 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also took five sacks. The former fifth-round pick spent his first six NFL seasons with the Chargers before inking a deal with Atlanta in April. Now, he'll look for a new landing spot as Week 1 approaches. NewOrleans.Football's Mike Triplett reported that the Saints looked into signing Stick before he wound up with Atlanta, so perhaps they'll continue to show interest now that he's a free agent again. Regardless of where the veteran quarterback ends up, he should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.
