Jameis Winston will remain with the New Orleans Saints after reaching an agreement with the team, he told CBS Sports on Monday.
Winston and the Saints settled on a one-year deal worth a maximum of $8 million if he achieves all incentives, according to ESPN and NFL Network. He had been set to enter the last year of a two-year extension that would have paid him a $12.8 million salary in 2022, ESPN reported.
The revised contract reflects Winston's revised role with the team: The Saints agreed to a four-year, $150 million contract with Derek Carr last Monday, and the former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback is set to take over as the starter in New Orleans.
