Evidence that he is still a mess off the field.

Didn't he sign the paperwork? He had to know the bottom line.

I am not a Winston fan in the least. He's just not very bright. :rolleyes:

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

There's no telling why Winston fired his agent. Players fire agents all the time. It's pretty common. I wouldn't doubt that they had differences over the contract. It sounds to me from everything that Winston has done and said that he really wanted to be with the Saints. He was willing to take less to be here. Joel Segal would have wanted as much as possible to get his cut. Segal was probably upset that Jameis settled for as little as he did and they probably had a "philosophical difference" that couldn't be mended.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Yes, he signed it. He knew the bottom line. He also knew what spending a year behind Brees got Bridgewater ... a $60 million deal.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

If Brees goes down we'll see if he plays like 5-0 Bridgewater played. That's what got Bridgewater the coin, not just sitting behind Brees. If Brees didn't go down I have a had time believing he gets paid what he got, and I like Bridgewater.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

That's what got Bridgewater the coin, Voila! B&G for "The Big Bucks"!!

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Even Drew and Sean can't fix stupid! And that young fellow is full of stupid. In fact his cup runneth over into his crab legs. I just shake my head when I see his photo. I've got too many visual pictures that I can't get rid of in my head like him licking his fingers and the looks on his team mates faces!:doh:

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

I doubt it's personal. Some agents are better at certain aspects. Smart move IMO. Get to play behind Brees, raise his stock some on that alone. Next year, He needs an agent that will sell the sizzle as much as possible. Could even be traded mid season if a team is desperate.


He signed that deal almost 3 months ago. If he was that unhappy would have got another agent immediately...meh.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

At least he didn't wear a wedding dress!

Amen Brother..

Getsom Taysom

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

All he needs is more reps. He has absorbed as much as he could from Brees but needs the reps. People are underestimating him. His work ethics could be more than Brees if given the wheel. He only plays like 3 positions off of it. Imagine if he only focused all that on one.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Why would you get an agent immediately after you sign a contract?

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Agents do a lot more than negotiate contracts. They handle things like endorsement deals, public relations, investments and general finances, ongoing communications with the league (fines, appeals, drug testing), monitoring supplements, etc. Contract negotiation is only one aspect of their job.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Not looking for a job description. It is the off season, during a pandemic, and this is Jameis Winston.

Joel Segal is in the cream of the crop of spots agents and Winston has no new agent as of yet.

I may have misread Beastmode's reply.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Honestly, Winston needs to "reinvent" himself. Perhaps he was not satisfied with Segal doing that. It's only been a few days since he fired Segal. I'm curious as to who he picks up and what that agent does to help get him relevant again.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

I don't care who he picks I just don't see him as ever being relevant. You can't fix stupid.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Actually, you can if it was related to immaturity. From everything I have heard about him he has been a model citizen for the past few years and is actually extremely sharp in the QB room. His only problem has been trying to force the ball.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Qb controversy anyone????

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Only for those QB's on the roster in five years after Brees finally retires.

;)

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

Yeah.... That's some millennial speak right there..:D You don't reinvent a "hot mess" brother. Young sluts have been trying to do that for centuries just to become old sluts.:beatnik:

Behavioral modification is difficult enough for people with a reasonable amount of self control much less someone with no control.

Re: YOU’RE FIRED! Jameis Winston fires agent after Saints deal
 

That's just it. He's apparently shown self-control over the past few years ... except when throwing the ball on the field. That IS something that can be coached. Loomis said in an interview yesterday that "great" (I can't remember the exact expletive, but it was much stronger than great, outstanding or something) in everything he's been asked to do.

We'll see. Maybe we can trade him later in the season for something good.
