According to The Orange and Brown Report, the Browns have decided to bench Jameis Winston (QB). Second-year player Dorian Thompson-Robinson will fill in at quarterback until the end of the season, in the absence of Deshaun Watson due to injury.
The eternal enigma Jameis Winston
Players like Jameis Winston, there are no two. Drafted in first position in the draft in 2015 by the Buccaneers, Jameis Winston failed to live up to the hopes placed on him. The Florida State alumnus is capable of the best and the worst. He notably authored a historic season in 2019. During this season, he threw for more than 5,000 yards, 33 touchdowns but also 30 interceptions!
Released by Tampa Bay, he bounced back to the Saints in 2020 without managing to win there. In the 2024 offseason, he signed with the Browns to serve as Deshaun Watson's backup. When the latter was injured, he took his place starting in Week 8. In his first game as a starter, Winston threw for 334 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 29-24 surprise victory against the Ravens. from Baltimore. But quickly, Jameis falls back into his old ways like his last match as a starter. Against the Chiefs, he threw for only 146 yards and committed three interceptions in his team's defeat.
Jameis Winston will be a free agent after the 2024 season.
