The Winston question
By: Heston Curry 2/27/2020
In 2015, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers used their first overall pick to draft quarterback Jameis Winston out of Florida State University. At the time, many saw Jameis Winston as the future or the next big thing in the NFL. 5 years later, it is the post season of the NFL's 100th season and Jameis Winston is at the end of his contract. In the 2019-2020 season, Winston led the league in passing yards, threw for 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions and now a big question surrounds the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Where will Jameis Winston go?
As we all know, there are most likely going to be many teams in the NFL starting fresh with a new quarterback. As it stands right now there will be 13 quarterbacks entering free agency from NFL rosters including Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers, and Tom Brady. And in a time of total uncertainty all we can do is make speculations, so here are 3 NFL teams in my opinion that would take Jameis Winston on their roster based on the teams talent and coaching.
1. New Orleans Saints
Obviously, this list is all based off of my opinion and my speculation. But the first team that comes to my mind when I think landing spots for Jameis Winston is the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have a very tough decision with whether to let Drew Brees go or to sign him on another big contract. I think it is the perfect landing spot for him overall. The team has a really good coaching. A whole bunch of talent and an offensive line that can actually hold their blocks, I personally think in that type of quarterback situation it would be very foolish not to consider a guy like Jameis.
2. Miami Dolphins
Now as a Dolphins fan, this decision would be a dream come true. The Miami dolphins were pretty bad last season and have been very mediocre for the last few seasons. But if the Dolphins were to make the decision to go from most likely Tua Tagoviloa, a quarterback used to playing on a talented team to taking Jameis Winston, I have a feeling for some reason it would be the best decision the Dolphins owners and executive owners have ever made. Call me crazy or psychotic. I think Brian Flores's system would benefit Jameis Winston in a huge way. I personally think if the Dolphins wanted to win they would jump on Jameis Winston the day the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announce him a free agent.
3. Carolina Panthers
Carolina has almost all of the resources to be one of the very best teams in the NFL, they have an all pro running back and receiver in Christian Mccaffrey. They have a very solid group of wide receivers, and a very good offensive line, but there are many speculations on the quarterback decision. Cam Newton next season would be a high injury risk for the Carolina panthers. This in my opinion would be most likely a temporary solution because of Cam Newton but with the hiring of Matt Rhule at head coach I think if Carolina were to look at the future and it being without Cam Newton, I think this would benefit Carolina greatly if you are looking into a couple of years into the future.
