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.

Two likely reasons. The first is that he gave Hill, based on a prior promise, his shot when Brees went down and it was obvious there were some flaws in those outings. Second is that Payton, unlike us, has gotten to see Winston for a year in meetings and on the practice field.

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?
