Jameis Winston 1 yr deal

If the Saints wait until 4 p.m. Monday or later to officially sign Winston, he won't count against this year's compensatory draft choice formula.

The Saints will have to get creative, as usual, to make room for Winston financially, since they have only about $4 million in salary-cap space and still need to make room for their draft picks and a possible long-term extension with running back Alvin Kamara, among others. But Winston's deal would likely include voidable years that spread out any cap hit. And as a bonus incentive for signing Winston, if he were to leave in free agency next year and wind up starting for another team, the Saints could possibly earn a high-end compensatory draft pick.
