One of the first moves the New Orleans Saints prioritized was an agreement with Jameis Winston to extend his contract another year, and now it’s finally been formalized with the quarterback signing on the dotted line. Winston shared a photo of himself inking the new deal late Wednesday evening, making everything official and announcing that, “It’s great to be back!”
And he’s back to compete for the tall task of replacing Drew Brees, who retired earlier this month to begin a career in broadcasting with NBC Sports. It sets the stage for a training camp competition between Winston and Taysom Hill, who went 3-1 in Brees’ absence last season.
