Jameis Winston may be a more realistic option for Bears after all

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and soon-to-be free agent Jameis Winston is coming off one of the most hard-to-define seasons any quarterback has ever had. He became the first member of the 30 touchdown, 30 interception club in 2019 while throwing for more than 5,000 yards.

His talent as a pure passer is undeniable. But his decision-making and mistake-prone style of play will have teams nervous about committing top dollar to him on the open market.

But will he have the kind of leverage in free agency to demand a payday consistent with the NFL's top quarterbacks?

According to ESPN's Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler, the answer is no.
