After a 2024 campaign with the Cleveland Browns, QB Jameis Winston was a free agent. The 31-year-old played in 12 Browns games last season. He made it 2-5 in the seventh inning.
This offseason, the New York Giants have only one QB on their roster, Tommy DeVito. However, the Giants made the move to sign veteran QB Jameis Winston. He has a two-year, $8 million contract with New York. Winston will be a valuable piece for the Giants.

The Giants finished 3-14 in 2024 and scored third pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Analysts around the league want the Giants to draft a QB. The draft was still a month away, so the Giants had to move in QB. Tommy Devito is the QB on the third string. The team needed QB1 and QB2. That was until news broke that Jameis Winston had signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Giants. Winston played with the Cleveland Browns in 2024.
If New York drafts QB in 2025, Winston will be the perfect mentor for the younger players. Winston was Tampa Bay’s No. 1 pick from Florida in 2015. Winston knows the pressure to be a starting QB filmed high in the first round. The 31-year-old has played 105 games over 10 seasons, with an 87 start. In 2024, Winston threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
Winston played in 12 Browns games last season, starting seven times. In the game he started, Winston went through an average per game (291.1). I know Winston isn’t afraid to throw an intercept, but it also comes with an epic play. Winston has set a Browns franchise pass record for most yards in one game (495) this past season. The former Pro Bowler still has gas in the tank and he is scheduled to play in New York next season. It should be an interesting season with Winston and the New York media.
