• Jameis Winston: Scheduled to visit Giants

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Winston (shoulder) plans to visit with the Giants on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The Giants reportedly are waiting on Aaron Rodgers' decision while continuing to explore alternatives. They've already met/talked with 36-year-old Russell Wilson and 40-year-old Joe Flacco, making 31-year-old Winston the relative youngster of the bunch. There hasn't been any report of Winston needing surgery or dealing with major complications after he missed the end of the 2024 season with a right shoulder injury.

• Browns' Jameis Winston: Commits 14 turnovers in 12 games

  01/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Winston (shoulder) finished the 2024 season having completed 181 of 296 pass attempts for 2,212 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while carrying 25 times for 83 yards and a touchdown in 12 appearances. He also lost two fumbles. Winston injected life into the Cleveland passing attack after Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles injury Week 7, but the short-term boost eventually wore off. A three-game stretch in which he threw eight interceptions -- including multiple pick-sixes -- ended Winston's run as the starter by Week 16. He ended up being inactive as the emergency No. 3 quarterback for the final three games of the season due to a right shoulder injury, but the issue doesn't seem serious and enabled the Browns to turn the offense over to younger signal-callers in Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Bailey Zappe down the stretch. Winston will enter the offseason as a free agent and could draw interest as a backup quarterback, though he's unlikely to find a team willing to enter the 2025 season with him as its starter, even as a bridge to a rookie or second-year signal-caller.

• Browns' Jameis Winston: Questionable for Week 18

  01/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Winston (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Baltimore, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Winston doesn't appear to be in consideration for the Week 18 start, as coach Kevin Stefanski told Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com on Thursday that he intends to play Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) and Bailey Zappe under center. As a result, even if Winston is available Saturday, he likely will be the emergency third quarterback, at best.

• Browns' Jameis Winston: Remains limited in practice

  01/01/2025 • By RotoWire

  Winston (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Winston has been listed as a limited participant on both of the Browns' first two Week 18 practice reports, and even if the quarterback is a full participant Thursday, head coach Kevin Stefanski has already said that Winston will likely be inactive for Saturday's season finale versus the Ravens, per Petrak. Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) and Bailey Zappe will serve as the Browns' top two quarterbacks this weekend, though Stefanski has yet to name a starter.
