New York giants have added a quarterback, but it is not the one that people may have been waiting. The club has agreed a two -year agreement with the veteran signal caller Jameis Winston, according to NFL Media. The agreement is worth $ 8 million. Winston himself even confirmed the firm on social networks.
Of course, the immediate question after this firm is whether it has an impact on a possible search for Aaron Rodgers, who is out of the heels of visiting With the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday. Together with Pittsburgh, the giants have been one of the best teams linked to Rodgers as a potential suitor and the moment of this firm (the same day that Rodgers’ visit with the Steelers) is remarkable.
However, as the NFL Media points out, Winston’s incorporation will not prevent the organization from looking for other Quarterbacks through free agency (such as Rodgers) or the NFL Draft (Shedeur Sanders) with the third general selection. If the club decided (and could) write a field marshal in the first round, Winston could, in theory, serve as a bridge field marshal to start the year, and could deliver the reins when that perspective (probably Sanders) is ready to ascend.
The giants have been on the market for a veteran field marshal during the low season. While Winston gives them additional experience in the position, it does not come with the same roof as their other activities such as Matthew Stafford (who decided to keep the Los Angeles Rams) or Rodgers (which is still a free agent).

Given the nature of the Winston contract (which is worth only a total of $ 8 million), that would seem to position it as a piece of backup/depth in the list. Before this firm, the lonely field marshal in the depth table in New York was Tommy Devito.
Even so, Winston gives the giants another signal call with the initial experience. The 31 -year -old has started 87 regular seasonal games during his career, including seven openings last year with the Cleveland Browns. He entered the League as the general selection number 1 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015 and began 70 games for the organization for his career, Winston has a pin rating of 86.4 along with 24,225 yards, 154 Touchdowns of passes and 111 interceptions for 10 years.
