In the midst of all of the excitement surrounding the New Orleans Saints landing their preferred next quarterback in Derek Carr, there is another layer of not-so-enjoyable reality. This move very likely signals the end of quarterback Jameis Winston’s time in New Orleans. And to be honest, the team and player were likely headed towards a split one way or another this offseason.
While Winston was with the Saints, there were high hopes on his ability to reestablish himself as a top-tier NFL starter. Unfortunately that plan was derailed by injuries and the Saints instead turned to veteran backup Andy Dalton to be their starter throughout the 2022 season. Now, with Carr en route to the Big Easy, it’s only a matter of time before Winston is looking for a new playing destination.
