  • Jameis Winston is currently listed as Russell Wilsonโ€™s backup in New York.
  • New York also drafted Jaxson Dart and could place him into the backup role.
  • Winston has covered the spread in 43% of his career starts.

The Giants experienced a revolving door in the quarterback room this offseason. Currently, Jameis Winston is projected to back up Russell Wilson.ย 

Winston presents one of two options for the Giants. After signing both Winston and Wilson, the Giants drafted Jaxson Dart in the first round of the draft.ย 

Winston arrives after spending time in Cleveland. For his career, Winston played for three teams and started 87 games.ย 

Jameis Winston Betting Data

Through 87 starts, Winston posted a 36-51 straight-up record. He has struggled to cover the spread, too, with just 36 covers to his name.ย 

Most of that bad ATS record can be attributed to Winstonโ€™s struggles as a favorite. In 29 games as a market favorite, he owns an 8-20-1 ATS record.ย 

As a dog, Winston is 28-27-3 ATS, including 21-13-1 at +3.5 or higher.ย 

Jameis Winston Contract Information

During the 2025 offseason, Winston signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Giants. Of that total, $5.25 million is guaranteed.ย 

This season, Winston counts $3 million against New Yorkโ€™s cap. Next season, his cap hit jumps to $5 million.ย
