On Friday, the New York Giants made a bold move, signing Jameis Winston to a two-year, $8 million deal, with incentives that could push it to $16 million. While Winston now sits atop the depth chart, his role as the unquestioned starter is far from guaranteed. The contract suggests he’s being paid like a backup, leaving the door open for another veteran acquisition—perhaps Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. Meanwhile, the Giants could still target a rookie quarterback in the draft, positioning Winston as a bridge starter. His arrival injects excitement into a franchise starved for stability under center, but until the dust settles on free agency, his grip on the starting job remains uncertain.
