Entering Week 17, the former first overall pick has had nine games with multiple interceptions but also has nine games with two or more touchdown passes. He entered the week leading the league in passing attempts, yards, and interceptions and has the ability to look like the best and worst quarterback in the league any time he throws the ball. According to Pro Football Focus, Winston typically <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/news\/nfl-jameis-winston-volatile-playstyle-one-more-year\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ends his season<\/a> in the top five of positively- and negatively-graded throws, and that shows in his touchdown and interception total.<\/p>\n<p>Jameis Winston is set to be a free agent in 2020 and reportedly is looking for a deal worth at least $30 million per year.
