TAMPA, Fla. -- It's official. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston will serve a three-game suspension to start the 2018 season, the result of an NFL investigation into his alleged groping of a female Uber driver in 2016.
As a part of their contingency plan, the Bucs re-signed backup quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to a one-year deal in the offseason. Beyond that, there are major question marks surrounding Winston, who was drafted first overall in 2015, despite unwavering support from the organization.
"All members of our organization are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the Personal Conduct Policy of the NFL," the Bucs said in a statement released Thursday.
