John Harbaugh Affirms Jameis Winston Will Stay Giants' Starting Quarterback
By Rhyter Times Desk · 3h ago
Jameis Winston will remain the starting quarterback for the Giants, according to reports from ESPN and NBC Sports citing coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh indicated that Winston will retain the primary role under center regardless of whether the team acquires an additional quarterback in the immediate future.
The commitment from Harbaugh came on Sunday following Winston's first victory as a starter since December 15, 2024, when he was a member of the Browns, according to NBC Sports. That win came against the winless Titans in a contest NBC Sports characterized as unglamorous, but it nonetheless cemented Harbaugh's stance on Winston holding the starting role.
