The New Orleans Saints had a deal in the 2020 offseason that very few expected. The 2019 NFL passing leader (and interception leader) signed a $1 million dollar contract to be the backup to Drew Brees. That quarterback, of course, was Jameis Winston. Winston, the former first-overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft spent the first five seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the Saints’ NFC South division rivals. The 2013 Heisman Trophy winner started off his career with promise, starting every game in his first two seasons while passing for over 4,000 yards in each of those two seasons, but inconsistency followed throughout his next two years in Tampa.
Did Jameis do enough to earn the job in 2021?
