Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said he cannot guarantee Jameis Winston will be the team's starting quarterback once his three-game suspension is over.
Appearing on WFLA TV during the team's preseason finale Thursday night, Licht disclosed the team could consider benching Winston if his replacement impresses in his absence.
"I don't think it's fair to say right now that he's going to be the guy," Licht said on the WFLA broadcast of the Bucs preseason game Thursday night, per ESPN.com's Jenna Laine.
"[If] Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Griffin, whoever it is, is playing lights out, I don’t think it’s fair right now just to say, 'Yes, automatically, [Jameis] is going to be the guy,'" he added.
