Saints and Jameis Winston reach an agreement on a 1-year deal

Overpaid and overrated. He will be the highest paid back up in the league unless we use him as trade bait. Might get a rd 5 since his contract is so cheap. Someone tell him to stay out of the seafood markets and he should stay a viable backup.

Will he keep Aaron Brooks' old number?

I've thought of Winston as Brooks 2.0 for a while now. That's not a terrible thing. The Saints got their first playoff win with Brooks and Haslett as coach. Payton is a much better coach than Haslett.

A one year deal suits everyone.
If Winston shows he's the guy he get paid next year the real big money. He's bet on himself to succeed and the Saints get to see him without being locked in.

I like that this is a one-year prove-it deal and it frees us up to whatever we see fit to do in the draft (no added pressure of picking a QB unless it's the right guy). Do we still have Simien?

Sean in the past made Kerry Collins better, made Quincy Carter into a real QB, and had only one loss without Drew in the last two seasons. I'm intrigued on what he will do post Drew. Taysom has skills, and so does Winston. Let the best man win.

Don't forget Tony Romo. Sean believed in his skill set when Parcells was ready to move on from him.

Turned into a solid NFL QB with good coaching.

I like this deal; low risk, high reward. I hope Winston is our starting QB week 1.

I hope he earns 5.5 and never sees the field. Complete waste of money.

I presume that this take is based on your feelings about Winston and nothing to do with playing the position of NFL QB, yes?
