Los Angeles, CA— As Jameis Winston turns the page toward the 2025 / 2026 NFL season, all eyes are on the veteran quarterback and what he might offer in his new home with the New York Giants. After stepping in as a starter for the Cleveland Browns in 2024, Winston showed flashes of his high-ceiling arm along with some of the risks that have defined his career. Let’s dig into his 2024 numbers and what they might portend for what’s ahead.
2024 Season: Mixed Results, Big Moments
Winston started 7 games for Cleveland after taking over due to Deshaun Watson’s injury.
Here are his key stats from the 2024 regular season:
| Stat | Value |
| Passing Yards | 2,121 |
| Passing Touchdowns | 13 |
| Interceptions | 12 |
| Games Played / Started | 12 games played, 7 starts |
What This Says Going Into 2025
Here are some takeaways and potential storylines for Winston heading into his time with the Giants:
- Arm strength & big play ability are still very much intact. The 497‑yard game shows what he can do when things click.
- Turnovers remain a concern. The interceptions in 2024 — both overall and in key games — continue to be a limiting factor.
- Durability & consistency: With 7 starts, he wasn’t given a full season’s opportunity, but his performance in those starts will be under more scrutiny now.
- Veteran experience could be a plus in mentorship or even in executing under pressure, especially if the Giants pair him with a strong supporting cast.
