| Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and the New Orleans Saints are discussing a deal, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday.
According to Yahoo Sports, a one-year contract is close to being finalized. By doing a one-year deal with the Saints, Winston would get to learn from coach Sean Payton, quarterback Drew Brees and others. He would fill the role that Teddy Bridgewater did for the team last season before he left for Carolina. With no other starting jobs available, it could be an ideal landing spot. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: This may be an ideal landing spot for his growth as an NFL quarterback but his fantasy value takes a severe hit. Even in scoring systems that incorporate interceptions, Winston was a top 5 fantasy QB last season (5109-33-30; 250-1). Barring an injury to Drew Brees, Winston's fantasy value will take a nosedive if this deal goes through.
