Super Bowl LIV may be the main event come Sunday, but Super Bowl week is all about the latest rumors swirling about as the league prepares for free agency in a little over a month.
With the Tampa Bay Buccaneers having a number of big-name free agents that can hit the open market, it’ll be interesting to see which financial moves and players take precedence when the time comes to open the bank.
When it comes to quarterback Jameis Winston, who had a statistical season for the ages, throwing for over 5,000 yards, while also throwing 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions, one NFL exec told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler he doesn’t think the quarterback warrants a big contract after what he showed in 2019.
“I don’t see how you can pay him. It would have to be pretty reasonably low if they did. You can’t give him big money based on the way he played. He won’t have a market.”
Should the Buccaneers bring Winston back in 2020, I think most people believe it’ll be on a short-term deal. Basically, 2020 would be the final year for Winston to prove himself as the team’s franchise quarterback going forward.
The question now is, how much will it cost to retain Winston’s services?
