You're always going to want a vet that can help the young guys... To have the veteran presence in the room with the wisdom that Jameis has and can provide and the leadership, the multiplier effect that that will pay for those guys down the road is invaluable.

Winston's $13M extension reflects value as veteran leader and mentor to young QBs.

Giants GM Joe Schoen extended Winston to a two-year, $13 million contract and emphasized his value as a veteran backup and leader in the quarterback room. Schoen highlighted Winston's mentorship of young quarterbacks Jaxson and J.J. McCarthy, calling his veteran presence and leadership "invaluable" for the multiplier effect on the team. While Winston's on-field performance as starter was mixed (2-1-1 record in four-game stretch), Schoen defended the extension by noting Winston kept the team competitive in games with fourth-quarter leads and has grown into the backup role with improved leadership contributions to the locker room and organization.
