N/S Giants sign Jameis Winston to 2-year deal

[webster]

I never thought JE viable option as a starter but I did think he was a valuable backup. We missed him last season.

Feels like he already would have signed there if there was mutual interest

I couldn't imagine any team wanting to sign a Drama filled 41 probably soon to be 42 year old QB whose production is just average now. Who will most likely play only a year.

The fact the Jets an attention hungry, low image team dumped him tells everything that is needed

Giants will visit the Superdome this season. I wonder how many Saints fans will actively cheer for him and against the Saints, like what happened in the Browns game last year

Don't remember hearing about anything like that.....I wish him well unless he is playing against the Saints....

If they draft Shedeur Sanders, he and Jameis would make for an interesting Hard Knocks.

I'm not sure how people are confusing a backup QB, being signed to a backup QB contract ($4m base per year), as being somehow in line to start.

The Giants are still looking for their starter at QB.

My statement was more along the lines that he may get some starts because the Giants oline is so bad the starter probably won't last the season....

To be fair, I wasn't replying directly to you. That's just the job of being a backup, so I wouldn't disagree.

To be fair, I have no way of knowing that in advance....

It’s the money they’ve convinced themselves they should pay for Jameis to start for the Saints

Playing for quality teams like the Browns and Giants, I'd say your money is pretty safe that he will be called upon at some point.

Would be the funniest thing ever if we traded Carr to the Giants and they had a QB competition…and Winston won!

It wouldn't be too funny if you were a Giants fan

And now Jameis has Lil'Jordan Humphrey to throw to. It's gonna seem like old times!

 

[Elvis]

That's cold blooded, but kind of true.

Good for his brand

And now Jameis has Lil'Jordan Humphrey to throw to in practice. It's gonna seem like old times!
