I think Winston will end up as a back up with Chargers or the Browns.

Ravens... behind Lamar?

I don't think he'll go there. Especially with another former 1st rounder (RGIII) holding the clip board.

He definitely needs to go somewhere stable and become a back up behind a quality QB.

Steelers
Saints
Seahawks

I think those are the best places for him to get better coaching and learn from some elite players at his position. He threw 30 picks. Undeniable. He also threw for 5,000 yards and 33 TD’s. I truly believe there’s so much untapped potential there.

Will he accept Crab Legs as a salary? If so, I can see him as a third stringer in NOLA.

He’d easily beat out Taysom Hill in camp.

He also threw another 10 picks that were dropped and arguably had the best WR Corp in the league with a pass happy OC. Winston with crap WRs would look like a practice squad QB.

I'm just going off the description of the video in the OP.. regardless of interception totals, that'd be absolutely bonkers for someone to throw 30 TD's, then quit and go play baseball the following year. Dude's still an NFLer who'd be an upgrade on several teams current starting QB. I'd be more than fine bringing him in as a backup if the money was right..Taysom may be unhappy with that though, after receiving a 1st round RFA tender.

I'm expecting a vet QB to be brought in, but someone less skilled and more of an NFL journeyman, to provide 3rd string insurance so Taysom can have a real shot. Guys like Jameis and Cam would easily take the #2 QB spot over Hill.

No need for it, Taysom is going to have a decent cap hit this year along with Brees. Adding another high paid QB to the roster would be a waste of cap space.

Never know with Payton, I wouldn’t be surprised
