New York Giants agree to terms with Jameis Winston: Social media reacts

Late on Friday night, news broke that the New York Giants and veteran quarterback Jameis Winston agreed to terms on a two-year deal. The move solved one of the team's biggest offseason needs and helped fill a room that featured only Tommy DeVito entering the day.

The decision to sign Winston came amid a search that also included Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco, and Russell Wilson.

While early reports suggest the Giants will continue their pursuit of Rodgers, it would appear that both Flacco and Wilson are out -- unless general manager Joe Schoen fails to lure A-A-Ron to East Rutherford, in which case he could reevaluate.

After word of the pending Winston contract spread, social media reacted quickly.

I know there are people who think Jameis Winston has a lot more to work with game-wise than either Rodgers or Wilson have left.

That's not my take, but I know there are those who believe that.

I've been non-stop looking at numbers since Jameis signed, here's some stat based thoughts:

Now that the @Giants have Jameis Winston, they can still draft Shadeur Sanders and give him the time he needs to develop. Or they can draft Travis Hunter and get an incredibly gifted two way weapon. #NYG #Giants

FACT: Giants signing Jameis Is Winston is GREAT news for every Giants WR.
Proof: Browns WR production in 2024 before and after Jameis.
Signing Jameis may not be good news for their W-L record BUT their W-L record never had a ceiling anyway.
STOP chasing 7-8 win floors. They’re…

Put some respect on Joe Schoen's name. That guy has been working.

Gotta give credit when it's due.

The Giants signing Jameis Winston to a 2 year deal for $8 Million gives them the FLEXIBILITY OF A GYMNAST if they draft Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders or no one at QB. Don’t have to rush the young QB into action if he isn’t ready and can roll with Jameis if the QB you want isn’t there

Jameis Winston had 3 games with at least 330 passing yards and multiple TD passes last season.

The last Giants QB to have 3 of those games in one season was Eli Manning in 2015.
