Jaguars Become Betting Favorite To Sign Jameis Winston
One of the big storylines shaping up for the remainder of the NFL offseason is the set of former free agent starting quarterbacks encountering a lack of available starting jobs.
One name in that vein is Jameis Winston, who won’t be returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after they brought in Tom Brady. Winston doesn’t seem to have any starting options right now, but oddsmakers have given us a hint on his po- tential destination: the Jack- sonville Jaguars.
There’s no link between Winston and the Jaguars, but it’s understandable. Jack- sonville just dealt Nick Foles to the Chicago Bears, so they could use a backup or poten- tial competition for Gardner Minshew. Another poten- tially obvious landing spot ap- pears to be out, so we’re guessing at this point, but

Winston has to land some- where. It will probably be as a backup.
