The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reportedly considered signing Jameis Winston to a two-year contract with a team option in the second year.
According to ESPN's Jenna Laine, such a deal would likely pay Winston $27 million per season, which is about the same as the franchise tag for quarterbacks. Only the first year would be guaranteed.
The 26-year-old Winston showed flashes of brilliance last season with an NFL-leading 5,109 yards to go along with 33 touchdown passes, but he also threw a league-high 30 interceptions.
