After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed quarterback Tom Brady, the team's former starter, Jameis Winston, is still without a home in free agency.

An anonymous NFC scout told NFL.com's Bucky Brooks that Winston's penchant for turnovers is one of the reasons teams have stayed away:

"Winston is hindered by his turnovers and previous transgressions. If you were worried about his mistakes and character during his pre-draft evaluation, you have enough evidence to move on from him at the moment. ... He's a talented player but those mistakes still hang over his head and make it hard for some teams to pull the trigger.
