YAWP. 
Giants Ain't Going Anywhere Anytime soon with that coach and with that front office and mebbe with That ownership.

Giant Joke.

I don't know that I'd go that far. Winston in 2024 was decisively better than Jones in either 2024 and 2023. We got Winston at $4m/yr for 2 years, while Jones was paid $14m.

Winston is getting paid mid level backup money with some incentives tied in. I'm not high on Winston's abilities either, but he does some things that we have been missing, and even if you're really down on him, $4mm/yr for a QB is absolute pocket lint. The Giants got a very good price here.

For a bridge/backup you can do plenty worse than Winston.

I also think it's fair to say the Giants have had enough of dink and dunk QBs and want/need someone who can air it out more.

Dude...

Believeland Clowns cut Winston.

I guess Winston was the best we were going to do at this point.  Gotta wonder what was the story with Wilson?  Would have liked him more as a mentor for a young QB but then, he wouldn't have come as cheaply. 

Happy it's finally done and now we turn to the big question: Jameis is the bridge to......who?

It's clear to me Winston was signed to be our backup QB. Seems they could be all in on Rodgers.

Not sure your point. Salvageable players get cut by teams all the time.

Nobody here is saying Winston is good. He's not. What he probably is is reasonable valuable for the money, which is effectively a pittance for an NFL QB.

The Giants cut Jones, and a better team than us decided to pay Jones more than three times what we're paying Winston pre-incentives. Do you believe Jones is more than three times better than Winston? If so, can you provide concrete rationale for that opinion?

[Jersey Heel]

He also wasn't cut. He's a free agent.

[DaveBrown74]

He also wasn't cut. He's a free agent.

Exactly. So he's in the same boat as Wilson. Rodgers is the one who was cut.

[Philosophers]

Winston is no savior.  We'll be under 0.500 for sure.  Let's just keep building the team around the QB position and draft a QB without trading and giving up draft capital.  That should be the plan, even try to add an additional pick or two if possible.  Goal:  get 4 starters out of draft including at least 1 starting OL, a DT or Edge and a WR.

If you want an 18-minute (less if you speed up the video) narrating of Winston's career right up until he signed with the Browns, this video is it

They milked it but all valid points that I brought up last night too. He's not saving jobs. There has to be another QB to add to this room. If they move up to take Ward, it's a huge mistake to give up valuable picks. I can see them bringing in Flacco and starting him, then have Winston as the backup and Draft a QB with one of the first two round picks.

Putting Rodgers aside because I doubt he would come here, the QB that would have given them a chance at a winning record, was Wilson. Mara's mandate was to win this season. Dart or Sanders will be available at three.

If they are going to rely on starting Winston this season, knowing that every QB in this Draft Class is not near NFL ready? Well then they may get another year to develop the Rookie. But If future HOF QB Guru Sean Payton couldn't fix Winston, don't expect Dabs to do it.

For those of you doing victory laps with this signing, I encourage you to go watch his 2024 game film. Not the highlights.
