Brandon Brown affirmed that Jameis Winston is a New York Giant and intends to remain with the team long-term. NFL teams must set 53-man rosters by Tuesday, and Winston faces competition in the Giants' quarterback room after rookie Jaxson Dart impressed during preseason. Russell Wilson is the established starter on a one-year veteran bridge deal meant to provide stability. Winston serves as a vital backup and security blanket should Wilson struggle or sustain injury. The 31-year-old veteran has totaled over 24,000 passing yards and 154 touchdowns across 105 career games. Teammates praise his preparation, community work, Bible study, and leadership within the offense.
The rumor mill is heating up around New York Giants backup quarterback Jameis Winston, and understandably so. But he is not going anywhere assistant general manager Brandon Brown is making it very clear. I appreciate people that are interested, but Jameis is a New York Giant, Brown said. With the way that he's gone about his business from day one, he's made it very intentional with the fact that he wants to be here and he wants to be here for the long haul.
Russell Wilson is the starter, which has been known for months after he inked a one-year deal as a veteran bridge to provide stability within a position that has had little over the last five years. While Winston was signed to be the No. 2 this offseason, his standing is not so solid considering rookie Jaxson Dart has lit it up in his first two preseason appearances.
