New Orleans Saints Name Jameis Winston As Starting Quarterback

  • Jameis Winston has been named the starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints for the 2021-2022 NFL season.
  • Winston went for 9-10 completions during Monday night’s preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars making the choice easy for the Saints.
  • The quarterback’s odds for being the “Comeback Player of the 2021-2022 NFL Season” have jumped from +1700 to +1000 in a single day, putting him fifth on the board for the award with sportsbooks.

NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Saints have named Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback as of Friday for the 2021-2022 NFL season. During the start of preseason, it was a toss-up for who would be starting at QB for the team with the options being Winston or Taysom Hill. But Winston showed up to play while Hill stumbled some making the choice a little bit easier to make on the part of the team.

Since being named as a starter, odds on US sportsbooks for the player have shifted a great deal.

Jameis Winston Is Getting Started Up

Jameis Winston signed a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints for $5.5 million but should he do well this season, he has the potential to add $7 million to that one-year deal. Winston played in four games for the team last year, throwing for only 75 yards but back then the Saints had the legendary Drew Brees as their starter.

Then came Taysom Hill who has had four seasons of NFL experience with 809 yards and 11 touchdowns to show for it. But it was made clear to everyone that Winston would start for the Saints when he threw for 123 yards and had 9 out of 10 completions for a total of two touchdowns during Monday’s preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where the Saints would win 23-21.

Bet On Winston

Jameis Winston has been put in the category of winning the award for the “Comeback Player of the 2021-2022 NFL Season” on sports betting platforms. Before Friday, Winston had +1700 odds to win the title. By Friday afternoon, his moneyline was sitting at +1000, making him fifth on the board.
