New York – Jameis Winston is a giant.
After Matthew Stafford chose the Rams for a business with New York and with Aaron Rodgers visiting the Pittsburgh steelers, Joe Schoen signed the old choice of Gunslinger n ° 1 Winston to finally add a veteran quarter to the 31st classified NFL offensive.
The Winston contract would be an agreement of $ 8 million over two years.
The 11 -year -old veteran launched 154 Touché passes and 111 interceptions in 105 career games and 87 departures. The giants are his fourth team.
He posted a 2-5 file for the Browns of Cleveland last season as a backup of Deshaun Watson with 2,121 yards by the pass, 13 affected, 12 interceptions and a percentage of completion of 61.1.
He made five seasons with the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay and four with the New Orleans before his year in Cleveland. Now he left for the Big Apple.
“Start broadcasting the news,” Winston tweeted with an apple photo on Friday evening, with a capital “W” indicating the victories he aims to bring.
Winston, 31, has always had the talent to push the ball around the field to play games and score points. So this is good news for the Malik Nabers statistics line. But he also fights badly with turnover.
In 2019 with Tampa, Winston launched 5,109 yards, 33 affected and 30 interceptions. This team went 7-9. He has 36-51 for his career.
“He will come directly and say to you:” Listen, you know what I am, “said the Rusher of Saints Edge Cam Jordan on the Talkin ‘ball with Pat Leonard of Winston’s arrival in New Orleans in 2020.” He entered the building when we signed him for the first time, he was like `I am crazy. Please give me these interceptions. “”
The addition of Winston to the quarter room reinforces that the giants are heavy favorites to select a quarter of the NFL recovery in April, potentially as high as N ° 3 in total.
Schoen and coach Brian Daboll waited for Rodgers to make a decision, but the lack of quality and clarity in the quarter for this franchise in the past two weeks has been embarrassing.
They made an aggressive attempt to trade against Stafford at the NFL combines, just like the Raiders of Las Vegas, only for Stafford to choose a return to Los Angeles with the Rams.
Rodgers was plan B, but he did not give an answer to the giants with the Vikings of Minnesota, the Steelers, the Giants and the Pittsburgh retirement all the options on the table.
The giants therefore welcomed Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson and Winston during visits to free agent during the week and a half, and they even planned a zoom call with Mason Rudolph who never happened.
Then, once the Vikings were publicly put back in place in the second year pro JJ McCarthy while their QB franchise, Rodgers, 41, appeared during a visit Friday at the Steelers center to meet the coach Mike Tomlin and the GM Omar Khan, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
It is always possible that the recently published quarter of the jets can make a person in person at the Giants. He has a house in Cedar Grove, NJ, so it would not be difficult for him to stop at East Rutherford, nj
On Friday evening, several reports suggested that the signing of Winston also had no impact on the pursuit of the giants of Rodgers. The team therefore clearly hopes that the quadruple MVP will choose them.
However, this does not seem likely. They therefore went to Winston, which at least is known to be a great influence of changing rooms that trusts his teammates – even if his frequent interceptions can lead to tablets broken by Daboll on the sidelines.
“What it brings to practice is an incredible positive energy,” said the former Large recipient of the NFL, Bennie Fowler. “Like” we are going to win this game “, or” I’m going to launch this ball “. And then whatever the game in the group, if he likes his match, it is who he launches the ball.
“Like,” hey, I come to you, I love you on this road. I don’t care about the coverage, “he continued. “Sometimes it will cause him trouble, and sometimes you can play.”
