One of the biggest questions during the NFL free agency period was where Winston would land. Now, it looks like we have our answer after the Buccaneers didn’t bring him back.

All things considered, New Orleans could be the perfect landing spot. We know Winston has talent, but he has a lot of fine tuning to do.

With the Saints, he can learn from Drew Brees and be coached by Sean Payton. It’s hard to imagine a better scenario.

If Winston can improve over the next year or two, then he might get another starting nod in the NFL down the road.

Again, we know he has talent. He just needs to stop making so many stupid decisions on the field. We’ll see what happens, but this seems like a smart move by the former FSU star.
