TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is committed to the Bucs, but wouldn't speculate Wednesday when asked if he felt they were committed to him beyond 2018.
Winston's $20.9 million fifth-year option for 2019 is guaranteed for injury only at this point. He could be cut by the Bucs after the season and prior to the start of the 2019 league year with zero salary cap implications for the team and he wouldn't be owed a dime.
"Yeah, I just know that I'm committed to this team, and committed to doing my best to provide an opportunity for me later," said Winston, who was benched three games after returning from suspension earlier this year.
