Winston’s likely suspension threatening Bucs’ season
I forgot who did it, but I got somewhat roasted in the draft forum for inferring that the guy is an idiot, both on and off the field. Three years later, and he's thrown 44 INTs (almost one per start) in spite of having some pretty decent weapons to work with since being in Tampa. I don't care for the league sticking their noses in on things like this (it should be handled through the courts), but he shouldn't be surprised about this given that A) the league is run by Goodell and B) he has a history of being accused of this sort of thing.
If mods want to move this, feel free. But this is the slow season and I thought I would post in here.
Winston’s not necessarily safe either. I don’t think the Bucs are going to move on him now, but it’s fair to ask whether this will affect their willingness to go through with his $20.922 million option for 2019. That money is guaranteed for injury only, and so if he can pass a physical in March, the team can cut him without penalty. Would they? Through three years, and 45 starts, he’s got a 69-44 TD-INT ratio and an 87.2 passer rating. Good, but not great numbers—and certainly not enough to make him complete safe if a new coach and/or GM is evaluating the organization top-to-bottom seven months from now, particularly with the standard pay on new deals for franchise quarterbacks now in the neighborhood of $30 million per year.
