Patriots 2020 free agency: Evaluating the quarterback class

High-level quarterbacks could be flooding the free agency in 2020.

Jameis Winston

Winston has been on a wild rollercoaster, as well, but in a different way than Bridgewater’s. He was the first overall pick in 2015 and has been extremely productive statistically. Since entering the league, Winston has the seventh-most passing yards and 10th-most passing touchdowns while playing fewer games than everybody above him.

2019 may have been the craziest year of Winston’s career yet. He finished the year with a league-leading 5,109 yards, 33 touchdowns, and a league-leading 30 interceptions. Winston became the first quarterback to ever throw 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in a season.

Winston is hitting free agency at a tough time considering all of the options on the market as well as rookies coming into the draft. It’s been reported that he’s searching for a deal that hits $30 million annually, but with his turnover numbers that high it would be surprising to see that be the deal he ends up with. It’s more likely that he’ll see a deal around $25 million per year.
