Jameis Winston Reportedly Almost Landed With Another Team

Jameis Winston returned to the New Orleans Saints on Monday. But according to Saints reporter Nick Underhill, the free agent quarterback nearly landed himself in the AFC South.
Per Underhill, “The Colts were sending a jet on Monday morning to bring Jameis Winston for a visit until his focus shifted back toward the Saints.”
Winston and the Saints agreed to terms on a two-year, $28 million deal, with $21 million guaranteed. Prior to landing Jamies back in the bayou, New Orleans was entertaining bringing in Deshaun Watson; who eventually landed in Cleveland with the Browns.
After almost landing Winston in Indy, the Colts made the move for Falcons 14-year veteran QB Matt Ryan; following the Philip Rivers blueprint that landed them in the playoffs not too long ago.
The former No. 1 overall pick posted a career-high passer rating of 102.8 with the Saints last season. Before Winston’s year was cut short by an ACL injury, Jameis completed nearly 60 percent of his passes for 1,170 yards and 14 touchdowns to just three interceptions.
All while leading New Orleans to a 5-2 record.
Now both sides go forward with a viable option behind center. But things could’ve looked awfully different had the former Heisman Trophy winner not changed his mind.

So a team that is essentially a playoff lock and possibly in the superbowl conversation wanted him but to the saints he is a consolation prize?
You must be kind folk to Rohan gravey with that thought process
Add to it the fact that he showed loyalty to the saints. Loyalty is something we would be better off with if our last quaterback drew brees had showed and not crippled our cap after he KNEW his arm was shot

Don’t come on here sucking his dick when we make the playoffs with him either

Almost landed but never had a visit? To claim you almost landed a guy you never spoke with is silly even for Undersell.

In 2020 he signed a contract worth $50 million, including a $23 million signing bonus. The 19-year veteran has earned more than $247 millio
If he was really worried about winning another superbowl for his LEGACY , don't you think he would of taken a paycut to help? What can you not do on 227 million that you can't on 247? Not counting NBC contract and endorsements? Brittany must be some high dollar pussy.
Get his dixk our of your mouth and think before you post
