Saquon Barkley might need referred to as it.
Jameis Winston requested the Eagles’ All-Professional operating again who was going to signal the free agent quarterback on the Tremendous Bowl in February.
“I think New York needs a quarterback right now,” Barkley mentioned, indicating he meant his former Giants crew.
Now Winston, 31, is visiting the Giants on Tuesday, per NFL Community, with an opportunity to signal within the Huge Apple.
“Would I really sign with the Giants? Absolutely!” Winston informed NJ Advance Media in New Orleans. “I want to keep playing and do what I do best.”
The Giants’ seek for a quarterback has felt interminable. They tried to commerce for Matthew Stafford and pay him, however he determined to stick with the Rams as a substitute.
So the Giants hosted Joe Flacco and Russell Wilson on free agent visits final Thursday and Friday, respectively. And now they’re bringing in Winston, the previous No. 1 general choose of the 2015 NFL Draft.
Winston, an eleventh yr vet right here in 2025, is a high-risk, high-reward participant.
He threw 13 landing passes and 12 interceptions with a 2-5 file because the Browns’ starter final season as soon as Deshaun Watson tore his ACL.
He has a magnetic character, works onerous and doubtless wouldn’t value a lot in free company. So he is perhaps a smart Giants match as an inexpensive Week 1 starter who would readily take a step again to the bench when a rookie NFL Draft choose is prepared.
The one factor is that this was clearly not the Giants’ first or second or third (or fourth?) selection.
Their pursuit of Stafford was the conduct of a crew that was not relying on a franchise-changing quarterback to be out there within the draft. Would signing Winston make it extra probably that they might now use their No. 3 choose on a passer?
At the least Winston can be entertaining if he got here to New York.
He labored for FOX as a character all of Tremendous Bowl week in New Orleans. And when he was requested for his ideas on the Giants’ roster and Brian Daboll, he might need slipped when he referred to the Giants as “we.”
“I have a ton of respect for coach Brian Daboll, the things he does offensively,” Winston informed NJ Advance Media. “I think we have a young— woah! They have a young roster. But they have a young roster that’s ready to win. They’re ready to bounce back. I know they’re hungry over there.”
