According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell and Seth Wickersham, Nike has decided to not renew Jameis Winston’s contract with the company.
Sources say Winston’s contract expired before the NFL announced Winston would be suspended for the first three games of the regular season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy
The bad press surrounding Winston likely caused Nike to part ways. No incidents involving Winston have been reported since the Uber accusations back in 2016 but the company doesn’t want to be involved in any more incidents with the polarizing quarterback.
As the number one overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Nike invested a ton of money in Winston.
