Re: Sean Payton wants New Orleans Saints to re-sign QB Jameis Winston 'sooner than later'
Last year SP picked Hill over Winston. Why the sudden change of heart? He had plenty of time to make the change to Winston and instead, he chose to stick with Hill. IMO Payton is grasping for straws praying Winston can keep the Saints above water. I think the Saints future is in the draft, not currently on the roster. Hill can be a cheaper bridge than Winston.

Either could have swayed Payton. Or, he could just be doing a puff-up job on Winston to get him a better offer somewhere else to get a compensatory pick. I mean really who knows? SFIAH |

Re: Sean Payton wants New Orleans Saints to re-sign QB Jameis Winston 'sooner than later'
I am really settling on the idea of Winston under center next year. Payton can probably get him to be at least a decent QB. Maybe even better. Here's to hoping that Sean can fix stupid.

https://iqtestprep.com/nfl-wonderlic-scores/ I truly don’t get the argument that Drew Brees is quick, sharp as a tack, while Winston is “stupid” and needs to be “CSP fixed”. |

Re: Sean Payton wants New Orleans Saints to re-sign QB Jameis Winston 'sooner than later'
If Payton sticks with Hill as the heir apparent, then Winston is surely going to leave in free agency. Payton is putting his best foot forward to try to keep Winston at something close to last year's rate and give the team more options to work with. I think the QB situation could still be wide open going into June and July.

Re: Sean Payton wants New Orleans Saints to re-sign QB Jameis Winston 'sooner than later'
I’ll put a little different spin on this. If Winston is signed and given the starting job (I’m ok with this), then I don’t see a QB being drafted early (round 1 or
2). By the Saints. I’m guessing Winston will take at least a 3 year deal. I don’t see drafting a guy to ride the bench for that long and then planning on starting him in the last year or 2 of his rookie contract. But, if Winston isn’t signed, I see a QB taken round 1 and a Trubisky or Fitzmagic type signed for a one or 2 year deal. Thoughts? |

As for the draft, I think it is going to come down to who is available when they pick. The Saints can't afford to trade up and if a run on QBs starts, they'll be left out by pick 28. Unless they reach a little bit, which is a bad idea. |
