The New York Giants met with free agent quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Joe Flacco last week and will add another veteran to their docket this week.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that the Giants will host quarterback Jameis Winston for a visit in East Rutherford on Tuesday.
During a Super Bowl LIX media day interaction between he and former Giants running back Saquon Barkley, Winston indicated he would be interested in joining Big Blue this offseason.
"I'm a free agent, I don't really got no job. Who's gonna sign me in free agency?" Winston asked.
"I think New York needs a quarterback right now," Barkley said.
The interaction went viral and Winston later elaborated on his interest in the Giants.
"Would I really sign with the Giants? Absolutely," Winston told NJ Advance Media. "I want to keep playing and do what I do best."
Ironically, Winston even called the Giants "we" in a Freudian slip when discussing head coach Brian Daboll and his offense.
"I have a ton of respect for coach Brian Daboll, the things he does offensively," Winston said. "I think we have a young -- woah! They have a young roster. But they have a young roster that's ready to win. They're ready to bounce back. I know they're hungry over there."
Winston was a first-round pick (No. 1 overall) of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2015 NFL draft. After five seasons with the Bucs, he spent time with the New Orleans Saints (2020-2023) and Cleveland Browns (2024).
The Giants need both a veteran bridge quarterback and a young rookie to come in and learn, and perhaps Winston is that guy. He's the anti-Daniel Jones, never fearing the 50-50 passes down the field. He's a risk-taker but may not possess the accuracy Daboll requires.
In 105 career games, Winston has completed 61.2 percent of his passes for 24,225 yards, 154 touchdowns, and 111 interceptions. He's also rushed for 1,297 yards and 12 additional touchdowns.
