Jameis Winston attends BLM march with his son

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston attended a Black Lives Matter march this weekend with his son, and documented it on Instagram.

Jameis Winston has been keeping his head held high this offseason and remaining positive ever since the Buccaneers decided to part ways with the former Heisman Trophy winner.

Winston has been hitting the field, spending time with his son and lovely new bride, and offering words of support and encouragement for people on Instagram. Now, more than ever perhaps, people need some uplifting words given the protests that have swept our nation in the weeks following the death of George Floyd.

Yesterday, the New Orleans Saints quarterback took to the streets with others for a Black Lives Matter march, and even brought his son along to be a part of it. Check out some screenshots from Winston’s Instagram story below.

Will Tom Brady break this Bucs record in his first season in Tampa?

Bucs QB Tom Brady has a great chance of breaking this Jameis Winston record in 2020.

Tom Brady will be taking over a Bucs offense that ranked third overall last season despite the erratic play of quarterback Jameis Winston, who finished 2019 with 5,109 passing yards to go along with 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions.

Despite the number of turnovers, Winston actually set the franchise record for passing yards and passing touchdowns in a season. And while Tom Brady is himself a member of the 5,000-yard passing club, he may have a better shot of breaking Winston’s touchdown record in 2020.

Over his 20-year career, Brady has passed for 33 or more touchdowns six times, most recently in 2015.

Keep in mind, too, that Brady will have the luxury of throwing to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin next season in addition to Rob Gronkowski. Plus, the Bucs drafted Ke’Shawn Vaughn in round three of April’s draft because of his pass-catching ability. Brady loves to target his backs, evident by the success running back James White had with the Patriots in the passing game.

So, while Brady certainly has a chance to break Winston’s passing mark, setting a new franchise record for passing touchdowns seems much more likely.

Twitter jokes about Jameis Winston starting in light of Drew Brees’ recent comments

After Saints quarterback Drew Brees made some controversial comments today, fans on Twitter joked that Jameis Winston should now start.

The past week and a half has seen the topic of social injustice brought to the forefront in our country once again, and NFL players have been voicing their opinions on the matter.

Today, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees turned some heads with comments many view as controversial and counter to what players are preaching.

Whether or not you agree with Brees, his comments certainly created a stir on Twitter, with many fans joking that former Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston, who signed a one-year deal with the Saints this offseason, should now be the starter instead of the future Hall of Fame quarterback entering 2020.

Take a look at some of the tweets.

How these 5 QBs fared in their first season under Bruce Arians

From Peyton Manning to Jameis Winston, see how these QBs all fared in their first season playing for Bruce Arians.

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians is the self-proclaimed quarterback guru, yet despite helping Jameis Winston throw for over 5,000 yards last season, he couldn’t correct the quarterback’s turnover-prone tendencies as the former number one pick threw for a career-high 30 interceptions.

With Winston now in New Orleans and Tom Brady the man in charge of leading the Bucs offense on the field, many wonder how Year 1 of the Brady-Arians relationship will be. Will Brady thrive in the Bucs’ pass-happy offense, or will he become a turnover machine like Winston?

Let’s take a look at how these five quarterbacks each fared in their first year playing for Bruce Arians.

Tom Brady and Jameis Winston’s seasons both had eerily similar endings

Both Tom Brady and Jameis Winston’s 2019 seasons ended on a sour note.

Jameis Winston had a season for the ages in 2019, both good and bad. While the former Heisman Trophy winner became just the eighth quarterback in league history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season, he also became the first player ever to throw for at least 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in a season.

Winston’s 30th pick may have been the worst of all, and not just because it pulled him to the infamous 30-INT mark. It came in overtime of the Bucs’ Week 17 game against the Atlanta Falcons, on the very first play, and was taken to the house for the game-winning score by linebacker Deion Jones. It would be Winston’s last pass attempt as the Bucs quarterback. The team went out and signed Tom Brady and Winston eventually landed with the New Orleans Saints.

But Winston wasn’t the only one whose season ended because of a pick-six. Brady, himself, saw his final throw as a Patriot get picked and taken back for a touchdown in New England’s wild-card loss to the Tennessee Titans. It’s funny how things work out.

Take a look now at those final plays below.

Jameis Winston looks for inspiration in these Instagram posts

Former Bucs QB Jameis Winston remains unsigned, but he’s looking to stay positive, evident by his latest Instagram posts.

It’s been almost a month since NFL free agency began, and one of the big names still out on the market is former Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, who was shown the door in Tampa Bay after five seasons when the Bucs lured six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady away from the Patriots.

Despite throwing for 5,109 yards last season, Winston also tossed a league-high 30 interceptions, which is probably one of the main reasons teams have been hesitant about offering him a contract. At this point, it appears Winston may have to wait until after the NFL draft to find a new team, and even then it might only be in backup role.

Regardless of where he ends up, the former Heisman Trophy winner is making sure to put in the work every day to keep himself in shape. Still, it has to be a tough time for Winston, which is why keeping a positive attitude is essential.

Winston took to his Instagram story today and shared a few motivational posts, including a picture of singer Ed Sheeran performing on the streets before he had his name in lights. It’s clear the quarterback is hoping to make a comeback for the ages if and when he’s given the chance to start again.

Take a look at screenshots from his story below.

This Jameis Winston workout video doesn’t really inspire confidence

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston remains unsigned weeks into free agency. The much-maligned quarterback, who threw for over 5,000 yards last season but also had 30 interceptions, was replaced by six-time Super Bowl champion Tom …

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston remains unsigned weeks into free agency. The much-maligned quarterback, who threw for over 5,000 yards last season but also had 30 interceptions, was replaced by six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady this offseason.

While Winston appears to have nothing but respect for the G.O.A.T., he’d still like to find a new team to call his own, even if it is just as a backup (for now). Perhaps that’s why Winston posted the below workout video online, hoping to inspire confidence in teams interested in his services.

However, it seems to have had the opposite effect, evident by this tweet from David Carr, the NFL Network analyst and brother of Raiders QB Derek Carr.

Keep at it Jameis. We’re rooting for you.

Jameis Winston has nothing but respect for Tom Brady

Despite being replace by Tom Brady in Tampa Bay, former Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston has nothing but respect for the G.O.A.T.

At this point last year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were hoping that quarterback Jameis Winston was finally on the path to redemption. After serving a three-game suspension to start the 2018 season and having an inconsistent year when he finally did see the field, the Bucs seemingly pulled out all the stops to give Winston one more chance to prove himself to be the franchise quarterback they had hoped he would be when they drafted him first overall in the 2015 draft.

The hiring of Bruce Arians, the supposed quarterback guru, was the team’s way of throwing their support behind Winston, but as we all know, things didn’t go according to plan. Despite throwing for 5,109 yards last season, becoming just the eighth quarterback ever to do so, Winston also threw a mind-boggling 30 interceptions.

Apparently, that was enough to make the Bucs look elsewhere this offseason. And, when quarterback Tom Brady became available and decided to make Tampa Bay his new home, the sun officially set on Winston’s time with the Bucs.

But, to the quarterback’s credit, he has nothing but respect for the six-time Super Bowl champion, and seems to be taking the move in stride. Speaking to Fox News about the Bucs moving on to Brady, Winston had this to say:

“One thing you can learn about me is my faith. I have tremendous faith in my lord, and one thing about Tom Brady is it’s understood that he is the GOAT. For you to get replaced by Tom Brady in a city that you love so much, I guess that’s kudos to me.”

Winston certainly did have his ups and downs with the Bucs, but his presence will be missed. Teammates had such respect for Winston that many initially refrained from celebrating the Brady signing on social media. Wherever Winston ends up next year, his personality in the locker room will be a welcome addition for players and coaches alike.

Best of luck to Winston.

Are the Steelers the right fit for Jameis Winston?

Now that Tom Brady is the new sheriff in Tampa Bay, where will former Bucs QB Jameis Winston end up?

While Tom Brady prepares to take over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his predecessor Jameis Winston is still searching for a new team to call his own. The former number one overall pick, who threw for 5,109 yards to go along with 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in 2019, was unfortunately shown the door once Brady chose the Bucs as his next destination.

Even though Winston has kept a positive attitude and looks to be in prime shape, he still hasn’t found any team willing to pony up the money he may be looking for on the open market. Ultimately, Winston may have to settle for a backup role, at least in the short term. Several media members, including NBC Sports’ Peter King, feel the Pittsburgh Steelers could offer Winston the perfect opportunity to sit for a year behind a seasoned starter in Ben Roethlisberger, while also being coached by one of the NFL’s best in Mike Tomlin.

Around the NFL‘s Nick Shook is now boarding the Winston-to-Pittsburgh bandwagon, believing the former Heisman Trophy winner could benefit from being in that environment. The one major roadblock? Pittsburgh’s cap room.

Per Shook:

“With the Steelers needing a long-term answer beyond Ben Roethlisberger, this feels like a sneaky-good situation for both sides. The problem: Pittsburgh has just $10 million in cap space right now, per Over The Cap, so some financial gymnastics might be necessary. But if Mike Tomlin can get Winston to cut down on his risks and turnovers and learn something from Big Ben — not the most eager mentor, but whatever — this has legitimate upside.”

Winston may just have to accept that no team seems willing to invest in him as their starter, at least not in 2020. Keep in mind, though, Winston only turned 26 in January, so he still has plenty of good years left in him. If he can find the right team and head coach, doing a redshirt season might be the best route to take to regain a starting job, as well as a bigger contract, down the line.

Jameis Winston shows off his physique and smile in latest Instagram post

Former Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston took to his Instagram story to show how he’s preparing for his next NFL team.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are preparing for the arrival of six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, who brings with him 20-plus years of experience.

But the dawn of the Brady era means the sun has finally set on Jameis Winston’s time in Tampa Bay. Despite the fact that the former number one overall pick failed to meet expectations and return the Bucs to the postseason, he was still loved and respected by his Bucs teammates, many of whom refrained from initially celebrating the Brady news on Instagram out of respect for Winston.

While the former Heisman Trophy winner waits to see what the future holds for him, he’s still keeping a positive attitude and putting in the hard work. Winston took to his Instagram story today and posted several great videos of him putting in work as both a football player and proud papa. Check out some of the screenshots below, or head on over to his account to watch for yourself while it is up.

Also, I think I can speak for all Bucs fans when I say we are going to miss that signature Winston smile. Best of luck to him and his family!
