The New Orleans Saints have a commodity that most other teams don’t — a star backup quarterback. These teams should be pursuing him.

A destined pairing the Saints found Jameis Winston and the two came to an agreement. Winston made a mature decision for not only himself but for his career and signed a one-year deal to back up future Hall of Famer Drew Brees and learn under Sean Payton.

How many NFL teams can say that their backup quarterback led the NFL in passing yards last season or ever for that matter? Or how many NFL teams can say their backup quarterback threw 30 touchdowns last season? I’ll answer, none.

The Saints need to give him that opportunity instead of continuing to make him play behind Brees. Similar to the situation that happened with Eli Manning and the Giants last year although Winston has proven himself, unlike Daniel Jones.

Only in his sixth year, Winston still has plenty of time ahead of him to be great.

Either play him or they need to let him go to a team that can actually utilize his talents if the Saints don’t see a future with him. Here are three teams that could see immediate use out of Jameis Winston if the Saints decide they don’t want him.
