Wentz ain’t it.

Colts - Washington - Pittsburgh. I think Jameis is going to have options.

I'd like to go with JW at starter, bring Teddy back (he should be pretty cheap I would think and knows the system), them and Taysom would be a good QB room.

Kind of makes sense. They need a Qb and their SB window is still wide open. Hes familiar with their system and knows a ton about us and we are their biggest threat in the division. He’s also got chemistry with Evans and Godwin. I doubt him and Arians are on the best of terms but winning can heal a lot of wounds. It’s unlikely yes, but like I said my mind wouldn’t be blown if it happens.

What will really suck is if the Bucs go after Desean Watson. That is assuming he (no-trade clause) wants to go there.

I think their SB "run" is over. They have quite a few free agents who will get paid ... elsewhere.

JPP, Godwin, Suh, Fournette, OJ Howard, Ronald Jones etc.

They can't keep em all.

For sure the cap stipulates they can't keep them all. We've lost many a good player to the cap. I won't have a moment of sympathy for 'em.

I guess stranger things have happened. I just think Arians would more likely go after Wilson or Rodgers rather than sign Winston for another go around. Just my take.

Cam is on the Winston train.

I'd gladly take Winston, believe he's deserved the opportunity, unless something happens (us picking up another vet starter) via Free Agency, which I doubt. But I do believe he will have some options.

I believe he'll have options, too, but he's still in somewhat of a "prove it" situation, just like last season, coming off the injury. There's not a better place for him to "prove it" than in New Orleans with much of the same offense using the same terminology and with teammates with which he has already developed some rapport. The Saints have a huge edge on bringing him back versus other franchises.
