DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Quarterback Pat White has been released by the Miami Dolphins one year after they took him in the second round of the draft.

White struggled with his throwing accuracy during a disappointing rookie season in 2009, when he failed to complete any of his five passes in limited duty. The Dolphins kept three quarterbacks — Chad Henne, Chad Pennington and Tyler Thigpen.

Also waived was receiver Patrick Turner, a third-round pick in 2009. Miami terminated the contract of tight end David Martin, who missed last season because of a knee injury.

The Dolphins kept two undrafted rookie free agents at receiver, Roberto Wallace and Marlon Moore. John Nalbone beat out Martin for the backup tight end job.
