    Mike White is adding another AFC East team to his collection.

    White, cut by the Dolphins on Monday, has signed a deal to join the Bills’ practice squad, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported .

    This came after ESPN’s Field Yates reported White had visited with Buffalo after he became a free agent.

    White lost out on the Miami backup quarterback role to Skylar Thompson and was subsequently cut on Sunday before Tuesday’s 53-man deadline.

    In three preseason games with the Dolphins, White — a 2018 fifth-round pick by the Cowboys — completed 46.5 percent of his passes for 179 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.

    He was also sacked five times.

    White, 29, became a Jets fan favorite in 2021 when he filled in as a starter for the injured Zach Wilson in a Week 7 game, throwing for 405 yards in a win over the Bengals , who went on to win the AFC title.
