It’s a very strange time right now, folks. Not only is the majority of the world stuck inside and practicing social distancing, but Tom Brady just signed with a team that has a pirate ship in its stadium and the Patriots are looking for a quarterback.
With Brady taking over in Tampa Bay, that means last season’s passing yards leader Jameis Winston is looking for a new home. There have been rumors suggesting that the Pats could pull off a true swap and sign Winston, but according to a report from Michael Giardi of NFL Network, New England isn’t interested in bringing in Winston.
Asked high ranking #Patriots official if they had interest in Jameis Winston. Seems unlikely at this juncture. @nflnetwork

Cody Kessler and Jarrett Stidham are the only two quarterbacks on New England’s roster at the moment and seeing as how those two have appeared in a combined 20 NFL games, going out and signing Winston probably wouldn’t be the worst move imaginable. Only time will tell, however, the direction Bill Belichick and the Brady-less Pats will go when it comes to their quarterback situation.
Winston led the NFL in passing yards a season ago with 5,109 yards and also became the first quarterback in league history to throw 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in a single season. The 26-year-old has thrown 121 touchdowns and 81 interceptions in 72 career games.
