Re: Winston signed
I think Payton gave Hill his obligatory shot last year. He owes him nothing. He knows Winston is the guy. Won’t know if he’s a suitable replacement until we see him in action but I’m more optimistic with him at QB than I would be if it were anyone else. We got the best guy we can afford and the fact Winston took another one year deal says a lot.

It helps us as it gives us the test year with Winston, as well.

Re: Winston signed
One year contract. I'd wait on that jersey.

Re: Winston signed
Well, everyone who complained that the Saints QB couldn’t throw the ball
downfield are about to have their prayers answered. |

Re: Winston signed
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.

Re: Winston signed
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. |
