The New Orleans Saints have a new backup quarterback.
Jameis Winston signed to a one-year contract Tuesday, hoping a one-year stint learning under Drew Brees and Sean Payton will allow him the respite needed to compete for a starting job in 2021. His signing is also an indicator that perhaps Payton isn't as sold on Taysom Hill as a quarterback as previously thought.
Here is how the entire Saints depth chart looks after Winston's signing:
QB -Drew Brees, Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill
RB -Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray
WR 1 -Michael Thomas
WR 2 -Emmanuel Sanders
WR 3 -Tre'Quan Smith, Deonte Harris
TE -Jared Cook, Josh Hill, Adam Trautman
LT -Terron Armstead
LG -Andrus Peat, Derrick Kelly II
C - Cesar Ruiz, Erik McCoy, Nick Easton
RG -Larry Warford, Cameron Tom
RT -Ryan Ramczyk, Ethan Greenidge
Winston is coming off a 2019 season that saw him reach incredible heights but also several lows.
