Signing Jameis Winston as a bridge quarterback for the 2025 season may not be the ideal solution for the New York Giants, but it could inject excitement into their franchise. With a history as a former No. 1 overall pick and a low salary, Winston could provide mentorship to any young quarterback drafted in April, particularly Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward.

However, consistency is key for Winston, who has faced challenges with turnovers, notably throwing 12 interceptions in a span of six games for the Cleveland Browns. His potential to lead the Giants hinges on his ability to minimize mistakes and provide a spark to an otherwise lackluster team culture.
