Winston provided his own confirmation on social media. Jones joined the Indianapolis Colts on a one-year, $14 million deal last week after six seasons with the Giants, a tenure best described as rocky. Without Jones, Tommy DeVito was the only quarterback left on the Giants' roster.

Winston, 31, appeared in 12 games (seven starts) for Cleveland in 2024. He compiled a 2-5 record in those seven starts and threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with a 61.1% completion rate across all 12 games.
