I'm no fan of the guy's character. But you have to admit it's a bit exciting considering the physical limitations we've seen in Drew the past 2-3 years. I hope he learned from Drew. If what I'm reading is right, the base salary is 5.5 mil. I'm sure Jameis will do all he can to reach those incentives. You have to wonder if we really do draft a QB early this year.

I heard a point made today on NFL Network while talking about the Saints QB post Brees. They were discussing Winston. They said that if the Saints signed Winston his expectations would be based upon the value of his contract. If it was greater than Hill's he should be expected to be the starter. If it was less then he should be expected to be the backup.

Hill has a guaranteed total salary with bonuses of $12.159 million this season.

Winston has a deal worth "up to" $12 million this season.

I seriously hope Winston does play QB because Taysom's value comes as the hybrid player. Either one is a huge step down from what we have had for the past 15 years.

I wasn’t either but as I said earlier the fact he was willing to take a one year deal this early in FA tells me he’s humble and is willing to work for it. I get the feeling he’s matured a lot. We will see.
