Jameis is returning to New Orleans for another year (2 Viewers)

Not a bad back up if something were to happen to Carr

 

[Wisco Steve]

OK! Nothing wrong with that, great guy in the locker-room from most all accounts.

 

[Nolan]

Love it!!

That’s good money to sit back and watch

Bobby Hebert probably rolling over in a drunk binder with his giant Andy Dalton poster right now.

We get some of the cap relief we would have gotten from cutting him without also having to go sign a new backup QB, win for all parties.

Wow

 

[SonOfNOLA]

Sounds like it may be $4-5M in total guarantees and base salary, and incentives drives it up to 8M if Winston gets playing time from injury.

Great team player to help the team’s salary cap situation by wiping out the previous deal’s cap hit in half of what it was for this year and the other half becomes available cap space. His agent must’ve seen his market around the league is as a backup.

 

[Optimus Prime]

and frankly with the QB injuries we've had going back to Drew's last 2 years there's a good chance Winston gets some starts, it also allows Taysom to stay in the role he's most effective

 

[SaintsMan209]

there was no market. niners signed sam darnold.

 

[BooBirdSaint]

I mean what a team first guy. Could have just waited to get released and let the franchise eat the cap. Instead he takes a team first approach and comes back to backup Carr. Really speaks volumes about him as a teammate and person.
Thanks JW.

With the Dolphins signing Mike White, the 49ers signing Darnold and the Bucs possibly signing Mayfield we are pretty dang fortunate to get Jameis as a backup.

 

[longtime lurker]

Like the move. Welcome back JW.

Especially if he’s voyeuristic.
I’m happy with this move!

Enormous, given the dead $ hit we took losing Onyemata.
