Jameis Winston Headed To New York On New Two-Year Deal
So besides being one of the most stupendous running backs in the league, Saquon Barkley can also predict the future. When asked during a media event where Jameis Winston should go in free agency, Barkley said the New York Giants. Of course, it was Winston who asked the question and he has taken Barkley’s advice. Because Jameis Winston is headed to the New York Giants on a two-year deal. The deal is for two years and $8 million, sources told ESPN, confirming a report by Fox Sports. Winston also confirmed the news by way of a succinct post on x.com: “Start spreading the neWs.” Love the New York reference and the capitalized W in neWs, lol.
He is a former Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall selection in the 2015 NFL draft. He started his varied and interesting career in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Next up was the New Orleans Saints and from there he went to the Cleveland Browns. After Deshaun Watson went down for the season Winston came in and provided a spark for the struggling franchise. He had an infectious energy that motivated his teammates to play hard.
However, Winston’s playing can sometimes be described as wild and reckless which can lead to mistakes. In 2024, he had a 61.1% completion percentage, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Probably the wildest game he had last season was against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. In that game he threw for 497 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions. In the fourth quarter, he took a big sack and later was intercepted for a pick-six. Cleveland had a good chance to win but those mistakes were costly and they lost the game 32-41. Despite that his teammates still loved him.

Prior to signing Winston, the Giants’ only quarterback on the roster was Tommy DeVito. Winston adds a veteran’s experience and tremendous locker room presence to the team. The Giants have the No. 3 pick in the draft so they are likely to take a quarterback to try to develop. Winston can provide leadership, advice and mentorship. If he needs to be the starter he can do that, or he can be the backup. It’s a win-win for both him and the Giants.
The Giants had expressed interest in Aaron Rodgers but he doesn’t appear to be interested right now. So signing Winston fills the need for a veteran quarterback who can help whomever they draft. At any rate the Giants desperately need to get things turned around after a dismal season. Perhaps Winston can provide them with a much-needed spark to kick their franchise into high-gear.
