The Saints are floating in that undefined space between the retirement of a franchise quarterback and a full-on rebuild. Winston is recovering from a serious injury and wants to reestablish himself, and possibly continue the upward trajectory he was on before he hurt his knee. Even when Tampa had an open spot at quarterback - before Tom Brady changed his mind about retiring - head coach Bruce Arians said that bringing Winston back into the fold wouldn't be "the best thing" for him.Īt this point in time, Winston and the Saints just make sense together. The Saints can adjust that cap hit by lowering Winston's 12.8 million base salary to pay him in line with other backups.
While it wasn't a given that the former Heisman Trophy winner would re-sign with the Saints, it seemed like the logical place for him. Winston's contract currently counts 15.2 million against the 2023 salary cap. In Week 8 he sustained a torn ACL as well as damage to his MCL, ending his season immediately.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see how Winston would do over a full season of starts with the Saints. Hurts just finished Year 3 of his 4 year, 6M rookie contract in Philly, meaning hell be entering a contract season in 2023.
