Jameis Winston will remain as the New Orleans Saints quarterback. Winston returns to the Saints on a two-year deal worth $28 million.

The #Saints are re-signing QB Jameis Winston to a two-year deal with a base value of $28 million, including $21M guaranteed, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

So after missing out on Deshaun Watson, New Orleans turns to an old friend at QB.

Winston was 5-2 with the Saints before suffering a season-ending torn ACL injury. Before that, Winston was on pace to have one of the best years of his career, completing 59.0% of his passes for 1,170 yards and 14 touchdowns to just three interceptions. Back in 2019, Winston led the NFL in passing yards while with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If Winston is healthy and ready to go, all expectations are that he’ll be the Week One starter in New Orleans. If it takes Winston longer than ten months to be prepared to go, backup quarterbacks Ian Book and Blake Bortles would likely compete to start until Winston is healthy.

Deshaun Watson Tears ACL Done For The Season

Deshaun Watson is the hottest available quarterback left on the market, and two NFC teams are in play for his services. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers have made separate offers to the Houston Texans for Watson.

Notes:
1. Yes, the #Saints can fit him under the cap.
2. The #Texans will work with Watson and grant permission for him to speak with teams with real offers.
3. The #Panthers have been interested for a year and have never waivered https://t.co/Dc3p9rvMGp

Rapoport also stated that the Saints plan to meet with Watson and his representatives soon.

On Friday, a Harris County (Texas) grand jury did not find enough evidence to charge Watson with a crime following allegations of sexual misconduct stemming from massage therapy sessions. Watson, 26, is also facing 22 civil lawsuits. Still, Friday’s news paved the way for accelerated trade discussions for Watson, who remains under NFL investigation and is subject to potential discipline under the league’s personal-conduct policy.

Watson requested to be traded from the Texans before the allegations, and he was inactive for all 17 of the Texans’ games during the 2021 NFL season.

With some of the legal troubles behind him, the market for Watson’s services is expected to ramp up. Watson has a no-trade clause in his contract, so he would have to sign off where he plays next. The Texans are also standing by their stance of no minimum of three first-round picks in exchange for Watson.
