Bruce Arians doesn’t want Jameis Winston back with the Buccaneers

Bruce Arians has been down the rabbit gap, and he doesn’t appear interested by going again.

As Arians’ Buccaneers face uncertainty on the quarterback place, the group is reportedly not interested by pursuing Jameis Winston for a return to Tampa.

Winston was drafted first total by the Bucs in 2015 and spent 5 seasons with the group, culminating with the 2019 season – Arians’ first as head coach. In that season, the previous Florida State QB threw for over 5,000 yards and 30 touchdowns – but in addition threw 30 interceptions.

After dropping the group’s ultimate two video games of that season (by which Winston threw six interceptions) to drop the group to 7-9, Tampa determined to chop bait with Arians publicly criticizing Winston for his abundance of turnovers. They ended up signing Brady within the offseason.

“There was a time after they had been 7-7 in his one yr right here underneath Bruce,” Stroud stated. “I believed he was going to make it, he threw for like 460-something two video games in a row. Then they performed Houston…then they performed Atlanta and he threw each these video games away. I noticed on Bruce’s face that day he had reached his restrict with Jameis Winston.”

Winston is now a free agent for the third time in as many offseasons, having spent the final two years with the Saints. It appears doable he may return to new Orleans once more, because the group went 5-2 with him as a starter earlier than he tore his ACL.

If not, it seems the Bucs are an unlikely vacation spot. Tampa has Blaine Gabbert and Kyle Trask on the roster, however would possible need to swing greater on the QB place, with stories that they may pursue Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers ought to they grow to be obtainable.
