The New Orleans Saints are considering bringing quarterback Jameis Winston back into the mix.
"Jameis is an option for us and we hope we’re an option for Jameis," general manager Mickey Loomis told reporters (h/t Nick Underhill of New Orleans.Football) at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Thursday.
