METAIRIE, La. -- Jameis Winston didn’t get a blockbuster deal Monday when he agreed to re-sign with the New Orleans Saints (one year, up to $12 million with incentives, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter).
But he has a blockbuster opportunity to become Drew Brees’ heir in New Orleans, surrounded by one of the NFL’s most talented rosters and being tutored by one of the league’s most brilliant offensive minds in Sean Payton.
Winston, who just turned 27 in January, will still have to beat out Taysom Hill for the job this summer.
