8-Time NFL Pro Bowler Sets Sights on NY Giants QB

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Derek Carr's departure from the NFL left the New Orleans Saints down a veteran quarterback. The Saints lack experience at the position and could eventually be in the market for somebody to add some help. This week, the eight-time Pro Bowler Cam Jordan made it clear that he would eventually work on luring in a veteran quarterback to join the team. He didn't have an immediate name to reveal on FanDuel TV's 'Up and Adams'. "I'm going to recruit a veteran quarterback properly when the time is right, and that's going to probably take all of the cap space we have," Jordan said. Could that quarterback be Kirk Cousins? Nope. Adams tossed out a potential return to the game for Matt Ryan for Jordan to think about, but the rival connection doesn't sit right for the homegrown Saints player. It didn't take long before Jordan tossed out New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston. "Jameis? If I'm being non-biased... Jameis? There's Russell over there. They got Jaxson Dart. My guy, Jameis, yeah. Come on down! It makes a lot of sense. .... I'm going all in. Jameis as a veteran quarterback, come on over," Jordan said. "Im goin' all in, Jameis as a veteran QB .. come on over." 15 year NFL vet @camjordan94 on trading for @Jaboowins. — Kay Adams (@heykayadams) June 9, 2025 The former No. 1 overall pick out of Florida State has plenty of experience under his belt. Since landing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015, Winston has played in 105 games, picking up 87 starts. After five seasons with the Bucs, Winston joined the Saints in 2020 to serve as a backup to Drew Brees. Although he initially signed a one-year deal with New Orleans, Winston returned on another short-term contract for the following season. He ended up starting in seven games.

Last year, he signed a one-year deal to play backup for the Cleveland Browns. He played in 12 games, completing 181 passes for 2,121 yards and 13 touchdowns. Winston finished with a completion percentage of 61 percent. He threw 12 interceptions. With the Giants, Winston is expected to play second-string to Russell Wilson. The rookie first-rounder Jaxson Dart is right behind him. Since the Giants are operating as if they are contending in 2025, Winston remains an important piece as insurance to Wilson. However, if Dart shows major strides in training camp, there is a chance he could jump his way into the backup quarterback spot. If the Giants trend in the wrong direction, it could lead them to cut the Wilson experiment early and take a chance on Winston. While Jordan's desire to bring Winston back to New Orleans is far-fetched at the moment, the idea that the Saints could use some help at the position is legitimate. New Orleans currently employs the 2023 fourth-rounder Jake Haener, the 2024 fifth-rounder Spencer Rattler, and the second-round rookie, Tyler Shough.

New York Giants agree to terms with Jameis Winston: Social media reacts
Late on Friday night, news broke that the New York Giants and veteran quarterback Jameis Winston agreed to terms on a two-year deal. The move solved one of the team's biggest offseason needs and helped fill a room that featured only Tommy DeVito entering the day. The decision to sign Winston came amid a search that also included Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco, and Russell Wilson. While early reports suggest the Giants will continue their pursuit of Rodgers, it would appear that both Flacco and Wilson are out -- unless general manager Joe Schoen fails to lure A-A-Ron to East Rutherford, in which case he could reevaluate. After word of the pending Winston contract spread, social media reacted quickly. I know there are people who think Jameis Winston has a lot more to work with game-wise than either Rodgers or Wilson have not my take, but I know there are those who believe that. — Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) March 22, 2025 I've been non-stop looking at numbers since Jameis signed, here's some stat based thoughts:• Jameis was good with play action last year despite Kevin Stefanski rarely utilizing it• On top of that, Jameis found success throwing outside the pocket as well.

From 'Eat a W' to 'it was pain everywhere': Jameis Winston's top viral moments
In 2015, the NFL world was blessed with Jameis Winston's presence, as the quarterback was selected with the No. 1 pick in the draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Winston, a former Pro Bowler who has surpassed 4,000 passing yards in three seasons, will be part of the coverage of FOX Sports' Super Bowl LIX (Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app), bringing his lively personality to the network throughout the week as a digital correspondent. Across his 10-year NFL career, split between the Buccaneers (2015-19), New Orleans Saints (2020-23) and Cleveland Browns (2024), Winston has produced timeless viral moments. Here are some of Winston's most memorable and viral soundbites. "Unwavering faith. Ultimate belief." – 2024 Prior to making his first NFL start in two years, Winston provided some insight into his state of mind, repeating a message of conviction and praise for God. Sure enough, Winston led the Browns to a surprise, 29-24 victory over the AFC North-rival Baltimore Ravens following the aforementioned interview, hitting wide receiver Cedric Tillman for a go-ahead, 38-yard touchdown with 59 seconds remaining in the game. Winston had one of the best games of his career, throwing for 334 yards and three touchdowns, zero interceptions, posting a 115.3 passer rating and completing 65.9 percent of his passes. After the game, Winston explained how Eminem inspired his performance. Winston has played football his whole life, but the quarterback finally realized what his true passion is in 2022. Following a 38-3 Saints win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, which saw Winston throw for five touchdowns, the quarterback revealed the groundbreaking advice his trainer gave him during the week. Everybody has their own eating habits. Winston? He prefers to "eat a W" during football games — in a motivational sense. Sometimes, it hasn't worked. In fact, arguably the most famous "eat a W" came before a 30-10 Buccaneers loss in 2017. Other times, it works or comes in victory, as Winston snuck up behind Drew Brees following a dominating, 38-3 Saints win in 2020. The human body is complex and challenging to understand. Fortunately, Jameis is here to explain how it works. The Saints trailed the Atlanta Falcons 26-10 with 12:41 remaining in their Week 1 matchup. Then, Winston led New Orleans to a comeback victory, highlighted by a pair of touchdown passes to wide receiver Michael Thomas and helping get it in field goal range for Wil Lutz, who connected on a go-ahead and eventual game-winning, 51-yard field goal with 19 seconds remaining. Late in the game, Winston appeared to be hobbled but played through the pain. One could only wonder: "Where was the pain, Jameis?" Simply put: it was "everywhere." Prior to Cleveland's Week 12 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Winston gave a legendary interview, explaining that he was ready to roll and grateful to play in snowy conditions — with an enormous smile on his face. Surprise, surprise, snow poured down in the second half, and Winston helped the Browns get the upset victory on their home turf. Winston finished the 24-19 home win with 219 passing yards, while completing 66.7% of his passes, rushing for a 2-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-2 and leading the Browns on a go-ahead TD drive in the final moments. Jameis Winston is truly a one-of-one. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
