Sure sounds like Indy preferred Winston to Ryan (1 Viewer)

Obviously there are other factors at play. Jameis wouldn’t have cost them a draft pick and would’ve needed to pass a physical.

But the timeline makes it seem like Indy didn’t make a final offer to Atlanta until Jameis cancelled his trip to Indy.

You mean Indy preferred the younger, better, higher-upside player that wouldn’t have cost a draft pick while also being much much cheaper???

That’s crazy!

Understandably, the Colts wanted Jameis over Ryan. Better arm, younger, more deadly in the red zone, more upside. I'm glad he's back in the Saints' fold.

Tldr: Winston canceled the visit to Indy on Sunday and decided to sign a contract with us.

I'm really glad Ryan went somewhere else besides the falcons. I really liked him coming out of Boston College. The Hard Knocks series with the falcons showed that he's got a lot of swagger and a "command presence".

He also beat us in the last 2 minutes of a game way too many times.

The article also notes that the Seahawks wanted to bring Winston in for a visit but New Orleans was always his preferred destination.

You should change that.

That's the information we don't get and it shows there was a market for him.
