The Giants’ QB search continues
The New York Giants are hosting free agent quarterback Jameis Winston on Tuesday, per reports.
Interestingly, the initial report from Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network stated that the visit with Winston is scheduled for Tuesday. Ian Rapoport, in confirming and reposting the report, states that the meeting is scheduled for today (Monday).
While the Giants wait for Aaron Rodgers, they visited with Russell Wilson on Friday and now host Jameis Winston today. @tompelissero.bsky.social

We’ll, of course, find out soon enough what day it is.
The Giants, like every other team still in the market for a quarterback, are in a holding pattern while the Minnesota Vikings decide whether or not to court Aaron Rodgers, and Rodgers weighs his various options.
Russell Wilson is likely the next-best option for the Giants, though they have competition from the Pittsburgh Steelers in that regard.
Winston is significantly younger than either Wilson or Rodgers, just turning 31 in January of this year. He’s a volatile passer who’s disregard for risk for a potential reward, but his arm strength and mobility could mesh with a more aggressive version of the Giants’ offense. He’s also said that he has “a ton of respect for coach Brian Daboll, the things he does offensively.”
Winston has also said that he would “absolutely” sign with the Giants and that he believes that the Giants’ young roster is ready to win now. We’ll see if he gets the chance to back up his beliefs.
