Buccaneers' Bruce Arians Declines to Commit to Jameis Winston Beyond 2019

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians has been one of the biggest defenders for Jameis Winston throughout the season, but he refused to commit to the quarterback beyond this season.

"I'm gonna pass on that one," Arians said Wednesday, per Jenna Laine of ESPN. "I'm gonna wait until the end of December."

Winston is in the final year of his rookie contract and could hit free agency this offseason, but it seems the coach hasn't come to a decision on the quarterback's future.

"There's been really, really, really good and there's been some really, really bad," Arians said.
