Free agency is right around the corner, and there is a real chance that Saints quarterback Jameis Winston will find a new team. New Orleans is stuck with Derek Carr for at least one more season, and Winston might be in head coach Dennis Allen’s doghouse after a controversial final touchdown to end the season.<\/p>\n
The former first-overall pick might not be the second coming of Peyton Manning, but he is good enough to start in the right system. With a shortage of starting-caliber quarterbacks, there is a real chance that Jameis Winston will earn a starting job in free agency. Winston himself is aware of this possibility and recently discussed his future while appearing on the Pardon My Take<\/a> <\/em>podcast.<\/p>\n While appearing on the show, Winston was asked to name his preference for five different cities: Seattle, Atlanta, Washington, Foxboro, and Denver. Coincidentally, each one of these teams happens to have an NFL franchise that could sign a quarterback like Jameis Winston in free agency.<\/p>\n Winston quickly caught on to the connection and gave his preferred landing spot.<\/p>\n \u201cAtlanta, I grew up an hour and a half from Atlanta,\u201d Winston said. \u201cI\u2019m from Birmingham, Alabama. That would be a beautiful time just for my family. That would be beautiful. But I feel like I\u2019m the attraction. I\u2019m the thing, I\u2019m the city, that is going to bring joy, love, trust, peace, and integrity to any location that I\u2019m at. Because I\u2019m a man of increase. Wherever it may be, that city, is going to get someone that is ready. A kingdom man that is prepared to grow everyone around him.\u201d<\/p>\n It’s easy to see why Winston would want to go to the Falcons. While Washington and (possibly) New England are in a position to draft a franchise quarterback, Atlanta currently has the eighth-overall pick in the draft. Unless they trade up, they aren’t getting a top quarterback prospect. Jameis Winston would probably start in the short term if he signed here in free agency, and that’s all any quarterback wants.<\/p>\n In addition to the familiarity mentioned above, Atlanta also provides a favorable situation. Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson are all great players and the offensive line is one of the best in the league.<\/p>\n The Wild Card here is Seattle. The Seahawks could easily move on from Geno Smith’s contract<\/a>, but is signing Jameis Winston an upgrade? Seattle will probably be in the market for a new quarterback, but they’d probably want more than just a bridge quarterback.<\/p>\nJameis Winston: Joining Falcons In Free Agency Would Be “Beautiful”<\/h2>\n
