The Saints would love to resign Jameis to a cap friendly contract. Is any team hinting they are interested other than the Saints? When Drew was injured every Tom, Dick and hairy talking head predicted that Jameis would fill in. When he didn't they went into overdrive concocting reasons why. Payton was hiding him. Taysom had more experience with the playbook, Payton promised Taysom.
Payton made it clear winning was his priority. The best spin Jameis fans can muster is, Payton considered them basically equal. If in Payton's view Jameis was demonstrably better Taysom would not have started.
Resigning Jameis makes sense even if he ultimately gets the #2 nod. Who ever starts will need a backup. Given our Cap situation the best play Payton has to keep him here is talking up the potential to be the starter.
It should be an interesting preseason.
