A former Patriots executive explained why they ‘might have an interest’ in Jameis Winston this offseason

A former Patriots executive believes it’s possible Jameis Winston will be the Patriots’ starting quarterback next season.

Mike Lombardi, speaking on WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni & Fauria” on Friday, said Winston – who will be an unrestricted free agent after this season – could make sense as a potential replacement to Cam Newton.

“I think you can fix James Winston,” Lombardi said. “I was thinking the Patriots might have an interest this offseason in Jameis Winston because I think he can be fixed.”

Winston, who turns 27 in early January, has had an accomplished career overall.
