Winston isn't under contract. What kind of deal would you offer him or better yet, what kind of deal do you think he will want?

I was thinking 15m too and I can see him take it. He needs to prove himself as the starter before they pay him more.

If coach doesn’t have faith in Jameis, they need to pursue Stafford (more realistic than Watson)

The one year thing scares me. If we are going to actually give him a legitimate chance to start, if he balls out in 2021 he's going to want 30-40 just next year and could leave if he doesn't get it from us. I could stomach 12-15 mil in a 3 year contract.

I didn't like bringing him in, and I didn't want to see him as our starter but you make a good point, he's probably the best bang for the buck we're going to get for what we'll be able to pay. I say give him the 3yr and let it be an open competition with him and Taysom.

Careful, that is what I might classify as set up to lose. We have to get rid of 7-9 players to get under the cap, and will have to get rid of another 3-4 to clear enough cap space to pay $15M to Winston.

The way it will play out is that Winston cant ball out because we gutted the team around him and when that happens people that do not want Winston will say he had his chance and did nothing...

I believe that no matter what we do, Winston will be playing somewhere else in 2022.

Fair number.

15-20M is about the going rate for starting QB's.

That still means as a team they are paying out $31ml for 2 QBs under contract. Not really feasible under the cap with so many other high earners

So the only option is Taysom or a rookie?
