Saints re-sign Jameis - 2 year deal [MERGED]

I take back everything I said about Jameis' contract. It's a great structure.

It's not even the $21 million guaranteed that was reported. It's a $14 mil signing bonus and $1.2 mil guaranteed for this season, that's it. Essentially, it can be a one year $15.2 million contract spread across two years if the team wants to walk away as long as he is moved before March 19th 2023. That's less guaranteed money than his backup.

It's such a relief that the team didn't tie themselves to him for very long. It also makes me think we'll be drafting a QB this year.

Maybe, but I suspect drafting a qb will more likely happen next year. I'm thinking OL or WR with the top pick this season.

As for Winston's contract, Loomis gave him a contract that protects the team if they decide to cut bait after this season, or Winston if he does really well and stays on has a chance to earn some nice incentives over the next 2 seasons.

I think this says a lot about Winston being confident enough in himself that he can make good on those incentives.
