The wait appears to be over for former Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston.
The former number one overall pick has been looking for a new team ever since the Buccaneers signed quarterback Tom Brady, thus ending Winston’s five-year tenure with the team. And after posting positive messages on Instagram and working hard to stay fit, it seems Winston will be landing with the New Orleans Saints, as the two sides are finalizing a deal.
See how Twitter reacted to the news.

Jameis Winston was offered a more lucrative deal by the Pittsburgh Steelers, per source. In the end, he decided to learn under Drew Brees and Sean Payton

WR: Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders, Tre'Quan Smith

Jameis to the Saints is the best offseason move by the Saints. Jameis has been throwing to Saints players consistently for 5 years.
