Commanders Are Now Shifting Their Attention to Jameis Winston

The QB domino pieces have begun to fall.

The Washington Commanders tried their hardest to acquire Russell Wilson, but that didn’t work out. Now they have shifted their attention to another QB. Following offering up three high draft picks in the next three drafts for Russell Wilson, they’re now reportedly taking a long look at Jameis Winston.

Winston is currently a  free agent and is rehabbing an ACL injury that shortened his season with the Saints.

#Commanders have taken a long look at Jameis Winston and continue to have interest in the former No. 1 overall pick, per a league source. I’m told not to rule out a return to the #Saints either for Winston, who’s progressing off a torn ACL.

On another note, a league source says the #Commanders did not reach out to the #Cardinals about Kyler Murray. GM Martin Mayhew said the team had “spoken to every club that has a quarterback who might be available.” https://t.co/IRQm9Zqv0h

Jameis Winston is too talented not to get another crack at a starting job. The Saints are probably looking to keep Winston just in case nothing else pans out.

The Commanders may have a new nickname, but they do not have a new QB just yet…
