As the NFL’s quarterback carousel turns, one thing appears to have remained a constant: Jameis Winston is staying in New Orleans.
The former No. 1 pick has reportedly agree to a two-year, $28 million contract with the Saints, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. The deal includes $21 million in guaranteed salary.
Winston has been with the Saints for the past two seasons, serving as a backup to Drew Brees in 2020 before taking over the reins as the starter in 2021. In seven games, he threw for 1,170 yards, 14 touchdowns and just three interceptions before suffering a torn ACL in Week 8.
