Hello Brady, bye-bye Winston

Jameis Winston said goodbye to the Bucs. But he plans on being back to play in Super Bowl 55 at Raymond James Stadium in February.

He lost his job. He hasn’t lost his confidence. The No. 1 pick in the 2015 NFL draft acknowledged Saturday morning on Twitter that he’s moving on. Winston leaves with nearly every Bucs passing record, including yards (19,737) and touchdowns (121). His 88 career touchdowns are second to Vinny Testaverde, who threw 112 in six seasons.

“It’s been a great five seasons as a Buccaneer,” Winston wrote. “All love and respect. I look forward to seeing y'all again in February. #SBLV, #2020Vision #Dreamforever.”

Winston, 26, is unlikely to land a starting job as an unrestricted free agent. He knew it was over officially Friday when Patriots quarterback Tom Brady signed with the Bucs. Finding a market has been difficult for Winston as four days into free agency he’s still is on the street.

Winston had one winning season when the Bucs went 9-7 in 2016 but failed to make the playoffs. Winston’s record was 28-42. Last season Winston led the NFL with 5,109 passing yards with 33 touchdowns. But he threw 30 interceptions and lost five fumbles, leading to 112 points.
