REPORT: Two Teams Have Been Named In Play For Jameis Winston, Having Contract Talks

Jameis Winston has reportedly had conversations with both the Saints and Colts this offseason, per NFL insider Josina Anderson.

“I still view myself as a starter in this league and that’s what I’m looking for,” Winston said.

I just spoke w/ QB Jameis Winston who told me he's had conversations with both the #Colts and the #Saints. Saints already made an offer earlier this offseason. Winston in very good spirits told me, "I still view myself as a starter in this league and that's what I'm looking for."

Winston started the first seven games of the season for the Saints last year and played very well until he suffered a torn ACL and MCL in a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Saints were 5-2 in Winston’s starts but won just four of the final 10 games.

Winston added that the Saints had an offer on the table earlier this offseason. It’s unclear where things stand now given New Orleans’ pursuit for Deshaun Watson.

The Saints still need a quarterback, although they are considered a contender to land Deshaun Watson in a trade with the Houston Texans.
