Jameis Winston Joins Giants as Temporary Quarterback

The New York Giants have signed quarterback Jameis Winston to a two-year contract worth $8 million, signaling a stopgap solution as they prepare to secure a franchise quarterback in the upcoming NFL draft. Winston, who has had a tumultuous career thus far, is viewed as a transitional figure, providing experience while the Giants search for a long-term starter.
