According to Tom Pelissero, the Giants are hosting free agent QB Jameis Winston for a visit on Tuesday.
New York is exploring all its options at quarterback this offseason. They had Russell Wilson and Joe Flacco in for visits last week and have an offer out for Aaron Rodgers.
Winston is among their fallback options if they strike out on Rodgers and Wilson.
The Giants are in a tough spot at the position, as the draft doesn’t offer a clear answer either. They are picking No. 3 in what’s believed to be a two-quarterback draft (if that) and both teams ahead of them, the Browns and Titans, need quarterbacks.
New York already had Winston on its radar this offseason, as the team planned on adding a veteran passer regardless of what happens in the draft.
Winston, 31, is a former first-overall pick of the Buccaneers back in 2015. He played out the 2019 season under the fifth-year option from his rookie contract and made a base salary of $20.922 million.
He signed with the Saints on a one-year, $1.1 million deal in 2020 and returned to New Orleans on another one-year contract worth up to $12 million in 2021 as the starter. He unfortunately tore his ACL after eight games.
The Saints re-signed him to a two-year deal with a maximum value of $28 million and reworked the deal in 2023. The Browns signed Winston to a one-year deal with a maximum value of $8.7 million last March.
In 2024, Winston appeared in 12 games for the Browns with seven starts, completing 61.1 percent of his passes for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He added 25 rush attempts for 83 yards and another touchdown.
We have Winston included in our Top 100 2025 NFL Free Agents list.

GMEN GM Blow Schoen and HC Buffet Daboll are pathetic.
The both of them got what they wanted with QB DanEli Jones being gone.
Yet, Schoen and Daboll are still ‘dragging their feet’ on this QB situation.
Their excuse now. Is they are waiting on QB Aaron Rodgers. LOL!!!!!
Waiting on somebody that just wrecked an entire Jets Franchise over the last 2 years.
The FACTS are Blow Schoen is not GM material and Buffet Daboll is no QB Whisperer and definitely not HC material.
Here’s a QB Plan.
Inquire with the Bengals about the availabilty of QB Jake Browning via trade.
Secondly. Knock on the 49ers’ door and ask about the availability of QB Brock Purdy via trade.
If the GMEN can land QB Brock Purdy. That would lead to QB Aaron Rodgers going to 49ers’ HC Kyle Shanahan and exclaiming, “the 49ers are where I wanted to be all along.”
