Following his stint with the Cleveland Browns in 2024, Jameis Winston entered the free-agent market. At 31 years of age, Winston featured in a dozen games during the last season, chalking up a 2-5 record over seven starts.
As the New York Giants approached the new season, their quarterback roster looked rather thin, holding only Tommy DeVito. To bolster their lineup, the Giants made a savvy decision—signing seasoned QB Jameis Winston to a two-year contract worth $8 million. His experience and skills are expected to significantly benefit the team.
Jameis Winston will don the Giants jersey in 2025, much to the delight of the fans.
The Giants had a tough 2024 season, wrapping up with a 3-14 record, positioning themselves for the #3 draft pick in 2025. Many pundits speculate that they aim to draft a quarterback. With the draft around the corner, they urgently needed to fortify their quarterback positions, both QB1 and QB2, which sparked the move to acquire Winston. His recent tenure with the Browns adds a layer of depth to his upcoming role with the Giants.
If the Giants opt for a new QB in the draft, Winston stands poised to be an exemplary guide. Having been the number one overall pick by Tampa Bay back in 2015 from Florida State, Winston is no stranger to the pressures a first-round starting quarterback faces. With 105 games and 87 starts under his belt over a 10-year career, Winston’s journey is a treasure trove of experience. In 2024 alone, he racked up 2,121 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and had 12 interceptions.
In his 12 appearances last season for the Browns, Winston’s start average was quite impressive, posting an average of 291.1 passing yards per game. Despite being known for taking risks that sometimes lead to interceptions, he’s also capable of delivering jaw-dropping plays. Notably, Winston shattered the Browns franchise record for passing yards in a single game, amassing an astounding 495 yards. As a former Pro Bowler, he certainly isn’t out of steam yet and the upcoming season with him in New York promises to be a thrilling ride, especially with the vibrant New York media closely watching.
