In that game, he threw for over 400 yards and three touchdowns, earning him AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors. He remained with the Jets through the 2022 season.

Following the 2022 season, White signed with the Miami Dolphins in 2023. He served as a backup quarterback for the Dolphins, appearing in a limited number of games. He was released by the Dolphins after the 2023 season and is currently a free agent.
