It’s going to be an interesting division to watch, not just this year but in the years moving forward.”Ģ47Sports' Nick Kosko contributed to this story.

And Brady’s still around, Atlanta’s got Ryan, Carolina is going to get a quarterback. I think Jameis is the guy, and of course, Taysom will be there as well. Now with that experience, all that knowledge that you’ve gained, now to be there and watch what Drew did has got to help him. Obviously, Jameis has matured a lot since he came out of Florida State, and like I said, you’re the No. At a young age, watching what Drew Brees did, got to be something that helped him go about his business. “So these guys are trying to do what Tannehill did and this is Jameis’s opportunity.

This is kind of like, to the extent of Ryan Tannehill, a chance to resurface as the guy we all thought he would be when he went No. So they could still utilize that dual-threat ability of Taysom Hill but this is Jameis’ opportunity. Like Drew Brees had Taysom Hill, now you have Jameis with Taysom Hill. But then Taysom could still be that guy with Jameis, so it doesn’t eliminate him having a role. That’ll be a battle in camp, they’re going to fight it out and see the best man wins that. As the full-time starter, I think he could be a little in over his head. Taysom showed that he could be that dual-threat guy, that complimentary player to give defenses something to think about. “As Todd (McShay) said, he’s still very young, Jameis is, what, 27 years of age.

“Yeah, I’ve gotta believe it’s Winston right,” ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper said on this past week’s episode of the First Draft podcast when talking about who the starter is for the Saints in 2021. Ross isn't the only one who is a believer in Winston. In the playoffs, Winston threw one pass, a 56-yarder that went for a touchdown in the team’s NFC Divisional Round playoff loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Winston played in four games for New Orleans, going 7-of-11 for 75 yards and no touchdowns in the regular season. It's smart money to bet on Winston at just $5.5 million base salary.” Having done something most others can't match, having received a year of tutelage under future Hall of Famer Drew Brees and Sean Payton, and having the support of a talented core from a 12-win Saints team, the 27-year-old passer can regain peak form as the starter. From the "QB moves" list this offseason, only Matthew Stafford and Ben Roethlisberger have accomplished this feat - each has done it just once in their combined 29 years in the NFL. “In his last season as a starter in Tampa Bay, what got lost in the negativity of his 30 INTs was that he eclipsed 5,000 yards and 30 touchdowns through the air. In a published piece where a handful of NFL.com contributors mentioned one quarterback move that will provide the most bang for the buck in 2021, former Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants executive Marc Ross chose Winston, and outlined why. One former NFL executive believes that’s a very smart investment for Sean Payton and Co. Winston’s deal is worth up to $12 million with a $5.5 million base salary. The move came one day after Brees formally announced his retirement which also led to a new deal for quarterback Taysom Hill, who started over Winston in four games this season when Brees was injured. Jameis Winston and the New Orleans Saints agreed to a one-year deal this past week that will keep the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Florida State quarterback with the team for at least one more season after he signed with the team after the NFL Draft last April to back up Drew Brees.
