Something witty like "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" seems appropriate since former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is negotiating with the New Orleans Saints, but that's too cliche considering the Saints are taking the smart approach in addressing a glaring need behind 41-year-old Drew Brees.

According to Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson, Winston is finalizing a one-year deal to join the Saints.

The signing would bring last season's passing yardage leader into the fold and create the league's most competitive backup quarterback situation.
