Giants Secure Jameis Winston to Fill Quarterback Void

The New York Giants have made a bold move by signing veteran quarterback Jameis Winston to a two-year deal worth $8 million, according to reports from Fox Sports. The addition comes as the team aims to address its glaring quarterback concerns.

Winston, never one to shy away from the spotlight, hinted at the deal with a sly post on X (formerly Twitter). Channeling Frank Sinatra’s iconic tune “New York, New York,” he wrote, "Start spreading the neWs," accompanied by an apple emoji. Subtle? Not quite. But hey, who doesn’t love a little flair?

With this signing, Winston becomes the most seasoned quarterback on the Giants’ roster, joining the relatively untested Tommy DeVito, who entered the league as an undrafted free agent. DeVito, until now, was the lone quarterback on the team—a precarious predicament for any NFL franchise.

The team’s quarterback carousel has been spinning for a while. Last season, the Giants cut ties with Daniel Jones mid-season and moved on from backups Drew Lock and Tim Boyle during the offseason. Team owner John Mara had previously emphasized that finding a long-term solution at quarterback was the organization's top priority.

"That’s obviously the No. 1 issue for us going into this offseason," Mara told reporters back in January. And it seems the Giants are taking steps to address it.

Looking ahead, the Giants hold the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and have been linked to promising prospects like Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward. Whether Winston’s arrival is a stopgap or a longer-term plan remains to be seen.

One thing’s for sure: Giants fans will be watching closely as the team attempts to turn its quarterback woes into a success story.
