The New York Giants have added a quarterback, but it’s not the one folks may have been expecting. The club has agreed to a two-year deal with veteran signal-caller Jameis Winston, according to NFL Media. The deal is worth $8 million. Winston himself even confirmed the signing on social media.
Of course, the immediate question in the aftermath of this signing is whether it has any impact on a possible pursuit of Aaron Rodgers, who is off the heels of visiting with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday. Along with Pittsburgh, the Giants have been one of the top teams linked to Rodgers as a potential suitors and the timing of this signing (the same day as Rodgers’ visit with the Steelers) is notable.
