Free agent market heating up for QB Winston

With the MATTHEW STAFFORD for JARED GOFF trade in place between the Rams and the Lions, the free agent market for quarterback JAMEIS WINSTON is reportedly heating up. While he couldMore certainly remain in New Orleans, several teams are said to be interested in his services.

Brady struggles in Bucs debut

When the Tampa Bay Bucs upgraded from JAMEIS WINSTON to TOM BRADY during the offseason, the assumption was that costly interceptions and turnovers would be a thing of the past. UnfortunatelyMore for the Bucs, Brady was intercepted twice in his debut. The first of his interceptions led to an ALVIN KAMARA touchdown for New Orleans, while the second was returned 36 yards for a Saints touchdown. Meanwhile, Winston watched from the Saints bench, where he is currently serving as the third-string quarterback. Less

Winston declares himself one of the best

JAMEIS WINSTON said recently that he is “historically one of the best quarterbacks to play the game”. Winston was the top overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft but became theMore NFL’s first 30-interception quarterback in over 30 years last season. While Winston sounds as confident as ever, he will enter the 2020 season as the backup quarterback behind DREW BREES in New Orleans. Less

Factoid: Ryan Tannehill

Ryan Tannehill connected on a bunch of downfield passes last year. He and Matthew Stafford were the only quarterbacks to produce pass plays of 20-plus yards on over 20 percent of their completions. But I don’t expect he’ll be able to keep that up.  more »

Bucs sign QB Gabbert as Brady backup

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed quarterback BLAINE GABBERT to a one-year contract, ensuring a veteran presence behind new starter TOM BRADY. Gabbert started the 2019 season as the backup behind quarterbackMore JAMEIS WINSTON, but he did not play a single snap. He was placed on injured reserve in September after dislocating his shoulder in the preseason. Gabbert is familiar with head coach Bruce Arians’ offense, so there’s that. Less

Taylor in driver’s seat for starting QB gig

Los Angles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said this week that TYROD TAYLOR is in the driver’s seat for the starting quarterback role. Unfortunately for fantasy owners crafting their draft boards,More Lynn followed up his comment by adding that “nothing is finalized”.

Andy Richardson: Waiting for Winston

I'm surprised that no one has signed Jameis Winston. I get that he throws a lot of interceptions, so NFL decision-makers have a different perspective on the guy than me, a fantasy football writer. But if you can set aside the turnovers (and clearly Bruce Arians couldn't), he's been pretty impressive.   more »
