New Orleans Saints backup quarterback Jameis Winston joined FOX’s Michael Vick for an interview Friday afternoon and discussed a variety of topics, including his pending free agency.
Winston said the key factor in his decision this offseason will be winning,
“When you think about free agency, it’s about winning,” Winston told Vick. “I want to be part of an organization that’s ready to win, that’s willing to win because all I’m focused on is winning.”
The Saints have already expressed a desire to have Winston return next season.
Winston also talked with Vick about a moment broadcast cameras captured between he and Drew Brees during in the final minutes of the Saints’ Divisional Round loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Winston said he and Brees shared words of encouragement with each other.
“I let him him know how much I admire him,” Winston said. “I let him know that ‘Hey man you are still the best quarterbacks to ever play this game, the things that you overcame this year that people don’t know and they really don’t care. But we know and we know how hard you fought.
“And he just shared with me ‘Hey man you got it you got it all. But most importantly your heart and your mentality, I really admire that.’”
