Saints Offer Restructured Contract to Winston as Backup

He's made plenty of $ already. It's just a matter of if he thinks other teams will come calling for a potential starter gig. If so, he's gone. If not, holding a clip board is not such a bad gig. As I stated before, I'll volunteer for that gig for a lot less $. I am awaiting a call from Kai.

You probably need to back off your demands a bit.

OK... I'll admit asking for my own golf cart was over the top, although I really don't think it's that egregious .

Not in terms of typical NFL starting QB money after the rookie contract. Here are the payouts:

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.

Bobby Scott made a good living holding a clip board for many years.
