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

The Dude · 03-15-2021, 08:29 PM

A day after longtime quarterback Drew Brees retired, the New Orleans Saints may have signed his successor.

The Saints and quarterback Jameis Winston agreed to a one-year contract, a league source confirmed. The Athletic first reported the news, and subsequent reports indicated the deal will pay Winston $5.5 million in base salary with potential to earn up to $12 million after hitting incentives.

Winston essentially confirmed the news himself after the news broke, tweeting: "Who dat!" The Saints announced the transaction late Monday night.

Well, I guess we saw that coming.

I guess we had no competition for his services. Cheap contract. Kind of like the old Billy Joe days, huh?

Gotta love a poster who claims to be positive while flaming others if they say something he doesn’t like cry like a baby when things don’t go his way. Guess your true colors finally came out. It’s obvious you are a Brees fan and not a Saints fan.
You have lost any shred of credibility you had left. Even I have a little optimism about the future and I set the bar pretty low.

I'll be here predicting a 20-0 (17 games this year) season per usual come the season. I'll be pulling my ass off every week for a win. I'll have my living room adorned in Saints' finest on game day. But after hearing the constant schitt that Brees was hit with this season from these fans I'm yet a little peeved.

What the hell. I have been urged to be realistic in my expectations. Well, y'all have me convinced. I've joined your side, Dude! Where do I get my membership card?

I can see it, even though I know Hill would never beat Winston in an open competition. He’s just so loved.

I don't see either as a viable future. Sure, either can do okay. Both are free next year, as are the Saints. It's wait and see for a year. Hell, the preseason isn't over yet. We can still pick up another via draft.

I believe in Jameis Winston. I believe in his arm talent, football IQ, and work ethic. I believe in him as a leader as well. He might be the most talented QB to ever put on the uniform. Of course, Brees in his prime is the better QB. That’s without question, but Winston has the skill level to really shock the world. Right now, I believe Winston is a better QB than Brees.
