White had signed with the Dolphins last season after playing with the Jets.

White and Skylar Thompson both backed up Tua Tagovailoa last season.

Both White and Thompson were competing all of camp for that backup job.

With White out of the picture, the job appears to belong to Thompson.

The roster move saves the Dolphins $3.5M toward the salary cap.
