Jameis Winston, Saints Reportedly Agree to New 2-Year, $28M Contract

Quarterback Jameis Winston reportedly re-signed with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The contract is for two years and $28 million with $21 million in guarantees.

Winston opened the 2021 season as the Saints' starting quarterback following the retirement of Drew Brees, for whom he served as a backup for most of 2020. He beat out Tayson Hill for the top spot on the depth chart.

The 28-year-old Florida State product was off to a strong start before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 8. He'd completed 59 percent of his throws for 1,170 yards with 14 touchdowns and just three interceptions across seven games.
