White (ribs) is viewed as the clear favorite to secure the Jets' backup quarterback job as final cuts approach, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

White's a better short-term option than James Morgan, who's likely ticketed for the practice squad, and the Jets have released Josh Johnson, who didn't get any reps until after White suffered his rib injury. Johnson's release suggests the team is confident in White's health heading into the season, though the possibility of bringing in a more reliable backup option that gets cut by another team can't be ruled out.
