Jameis Winston is the Giants' newest QB -- and a stopgap

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants are signing Jameis Winston. He's a notable name with a well-traveled résumé who will hold the seat warm for the next guy. Likely nothing more, nothing less.
Winston could have played his way into a starting job with the New Orleans Saints or Cleveland Browns in his past stops, but that didn't happen. Instead, he was available for the Giants to grab weeks into free agency. It's unlikely to end any differently for him in New York.
Winston, 31, is signing for two years at the modest price of $8 million, but the Giants aren't committed to him long term. They can move on after this season if they so desire, to whomever is next in line.
