New Orleans Saints to Sign Quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston became a free agent after the 2019 season and became available after Tampa Bay signed former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. He replaces Teddy Bridgewater as the backup to Brees after Bridgewater signed with the Carolina Panthers as a free agent.
With a surprising amount of talent that fell to the New Orleans Saints at the 24th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Saints selected center Cesar Ruiz. This pick allows New Orleans to solidify their interior offensive line, and could mean a move to guard for current center Erik McCoy.

A devastating knee injury in August of 2016 set his career back, however, as Bridgewater was sidelined for nearly two seasons.
