Where there's smoke there's fire.

It says our front office is a mess making decisions on the fly with no real plan in place. Otherwise, you don't guarantee Winston $21 million for the next 2 years when nothing has changed about him or the QBs in the draft since you signed him to that contract 3 weeks ago.

And I don't think our front office is a mess with no plan so I think the whole thing says they think Winston is a solid QB with some upside but they aren't convinced he is the answer long term but they aren't sure there is a long term answer at QB in this draft so they will likely take a shot at a QB in this draft only if Picket or Willis falls to #16 or if another QB they like falls to round #2 or #3.
Has nothing to do with whether they think he is the future. Has to do with his performance over the next couple of years, especially coming off the injury. He was also only able to give them 7 games last season. They liked what they saw, but with the injury, it wasn’t enough to secure a longtime deal. Jameis knew this too and agreed to the short contract with guaranteed money. Jameis doesn’t have to learn a new system, and the Saints don’t have to train a new QB. Win-win for both sides.
