Re: Saints Offer Restructured Contract to Winston as Backup
Not in terms of typical NFL starting QB money after the rookie contract. Here are the payouts:
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orle...cash-earnings/ He never got the big starting QB contract after year 5. And unless he's able to pull a Geno Smith somewhere down the line, he never will. Winston has $67 million paid out over 8 years. Seems like a lot. But for example with the new deal that Daniel Jones in New York just signed, he's caught up to the cash value of Winston's career going into year 5. Also it's not just about the money, though that's a big part. Starting QBs want to start. JW2 just doesn't have the mindset of a Chase Daniel, who has made a ton of money as a backup QB in this league. SFIAH |

Re: Saints Offer Restructured Contract to Winston as Backup
He's got until Wednesday to decide iirc. I want him back because he's a team player, but at the same time I'm not sure that he can develop any further without Sean Payton's strong hand leading his decision making process. We may have seen everything hye is capable of. I hope not, but my initial concerns that he is severely limited are back again.

Honestly, that's simply my perception. I live in Alaska afterall. You might see more vitriolic behavior where you live. |

Re: Saints Offer Restructured Contract to Winston as Backup
I wouldn't mind Winston as a backup but I find it highly unlikely that he would accept that. I believe he still feels he can be a starter in the league. If he choses to sign somwhere else where he will get a shot at atleast compete for the spot I'll wish him the best. I havn't seen him do anything but the right things while with the Saints.

Re: Saints Offer Restructured Contract to Winston as Backup
Winston's injury luck is unfortunate.
What gave me hope was the way the team seemed to support him. I felt like hey, if the team loves him, he must be the guy. Personally, I think he's goofy and off-putting. He looks uncomfortable in the pocket and speaks like someone who's trying to convince you of something that isn't true. But hey, all that aside, I pulled for him to win and even defended him when others criticized his decisions and I still think he'd be an excellent back up or stop gap in the event Carr is injured. More so than Dalton. |

He grew on me though after my initial negative response watching him eat the W. If Payton was still coaching him with the blinders on like his first year with us I'd have a lot more faith in Winston |
