Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Jake Browning

Jordan Raanan, NFL Nation reporter for ESPN who covers the New York Giants, reported that Jameis Winston may be the third-string quarterback, but he didn't want to go anywhere at the trade deadline. The plan is for him to be the New York Giants' backup to Jaxson Dart next season. Winston has been floated as a potential trade target for teams in need of a starting quarterback, given his long-standing pedigree and NFL tenure, starting in 87 total games throughout his career. However, Winston is content in New York and wants to stay with them next season to back up young rookie star Jaxson Dart. This would be a move that would be advantageous for the Giants, considering we have seen second-year (Sophomore Slumps) from quarterbacks in the past. Think CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans in 2024. While it's all speculation, it will give the Giants peace of mind knowing their backup quarterback can still sling the ball. Winston has thrown for 24,225 yards, 154 passing touchdowns, and 111 interceptions.

According to Cincinnati Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, the team's internal options at quarterback are "not in consideration" to replace current starter Jake Browning in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. As such, any potential replacement would have to come from outside the building. In three starts since replacing Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) under center, Browning has thrown for 516 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions while leading the team to an 0-3 record. However, it does not appear Cincinnati has confidence in current backup QB Brett Rypien or practice squad QB options Mike White and Sean Clifford. Most likely, Browning will be the signal-caller in a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Packers.
