Saints Legend Drew Brees Sends Public Message to Giants QB Amid Trade Rumors

After 4 straight losses, the New Orleans Saints finally got their first victory of the season against the New York Giants on Sunday. But the Saints’ 26-14 victory over the Giants wasn’t only celebrated by fans, players, and management; there was also one ex-player of the Saints in attendance. Former New Orleans Saints quarterback

Drew Brees was present at the Caesars Superdome. After the game, he shared an Instagram story and revisited the Saints’ 2020 roster with an emotional message.After the game, Drew Brees posted an Instagram photo with Saints QB

Taysom Hill and Giants QB Jameis Winston . It was a post-game picture, taken as the stadium was empty, with a screen in the background flashing the 26-14 score. It might look like a random picture of two quarterbacks with one former quarterback, but Brees’ caption changed the perspective of the picture. Brees accompanied the post with the caption, “Man, this was one heck of a QB room back in 2020

I miss these guys! @ts_hill @jaboowins”, tagging the Instagram accounts of both Hill and Winston.

Brees reflected on the Saints’ 2020 roster, where he started at quarterback with Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston backing him up. Hill, though listed as a QB, filled multiple roles as a true hybrid player. Despite battling injuries, Brees delivered a strong season, completing 275 passes for 2,942 yards, 24 touchdowns, and just six interceptions with a 70.5% completion rate, leading New Orleans to a 12-4 record and a fourth straight NFC South title.Backup QBs Hill and Winston stepped in when the team needed them. When Brees missed four games due to cracked ribs and a punctured lung, Hill was named the starting QB. Out of the four games he led the team as QB, the Saints won three and lost only the last game against the Philadelphia Eagles, a close call, 21-24.On the other side, backup QB Jameis Winston didn’t get much exposure and played in only four games when Brees was sidelined. He completed 7 of 11 passes for 75 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions, and added 6 rushing yards (8 carries). His highlight in the postseason was a 56-yard touchdown pass to

Tre’Quan Smith when he joined the game for a trick play. But in 2021, he returned as Brees’ successor and beat out Taysom Hill for the QB1 spot. However, his current situation with the Giants doesn’t look promising.

Winston trade rumours flare up

Jameis Winston signed a two-year, $8,000,000 contract with the Giants. However, Winston hasn’t seen much action in the 2025 season. After the Giants benched Russell Wilson, rookie Jaxson Dart took over the role. Both Giants’ Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart are now the backup and starter, while Winston has been listed as the emergency quarterback, sparking trade rumors in the NFL.Jameis Winston stands out as the NFL’s top third-string quarterback, making him arguably the most attractive trade candidate. But since the Giants don’t have

Tommy DeVito as they released him, letting Winston go is easier said than done for the Giants. With all that unfolding in the Bengals’ quarterback room, it appears increasingly likely that Cincinnati will explore a trade for a signal-caller capable of stabilizing the team during Burrow’s absence. Even if the Bengals are ready to give up a sixth-round pick for Winston, the Giants would have to consider accepting the deal. Winston’s talent far exceeds a third-string role, making him a prime trade candidate, even for a late-round pick. For the Bengals, he represents one of the few viable external QB options capable of winning games.Although Brees has shared a post looking back on his career, Winston’s current situation with the Giants suggests that he will not see live action for a long time. Although the Giants have their own reasons for not trading Winston, the possibility of a trade always remains.

Packers Eyeing DT Signing Amid Concerns About Devonte Wyatt

The Green Bay Packers are eyeing some reinforcements for the interior of their defensive line amid injury concerns with defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt.

According to the NFL’s official transaction wire, the Packers hosted defensive tackles Tommy Akingbesote, Anthony Campbell, Keondre Coburn, Fabien Lovett and Omari Thomas on Monday for roster workouts ahead of their first practice for Week 6.

Coburn — a 2023 sixth-round pick for Kansas City — is the only of the five workout players who has played regular-season NFL snaps, having appeared in six games for the Chiefs and 19 games (with one start) for the Tennessee Titans in his first two seasons. He has also played far more defensive snaps (233) than special teams snaps (26).

Akingbesote could also intrigue the Packers. A seventh-round rookie, he recorded four total tackles (one for a loss) in three preseason appearances for the Dallas Cowboys in August, though the Cowboys did not retain him for their 53-man roster. He also spent two weeks on the Carolina Panthers’ practice squad but did not receive an elevation.

The Packers (2-1-1) did not announce any roster moves following the workouts, but they could still sign one of the five workout players before facing the Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) on Sunday. All five are likely practice-squad candidates, not 53-man roster targets.

Workouts Raise Concerns About Devonte Wyatt’s Status

Whether the Packers sign any of the five workout players could depend on the condition of Wyatt, who is still nursing a knee injury that forced him out early in Week 4’s draw.

Wyatt exited in the second quarter against the Cowboys after landing awkwardly on his knee in an attempt to chase down running back Miles Sanders at the end of a run play. While he walked off under his own power, he did not return for the rest of the game.

The Packers, who had led 13-2 when Wyatt left the game, allowed the Cowboys to rack up 38 points without their top defensive tackle, settling for a 40-40 tie in prime time.

During the bye week, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur classified Wyatt’s knee injury as “week-to-week,” but the 2022 first-round pick also did not practice Monday to start the week of preparation for the Bengals. While the Packers could provide more clues as to his status when they release the week’s first injury report on Wednesday, he likely won’t suit up for them on Sunday afternoon if he remains a non-participant at practice.

Devonte Wyatt Remains Biggest Injury After Bye Week

Wyatt’s injury could become a concern for the Packers against the Bengals, especially after how much their defensive interior struggled in his absence against the Cowboys.

Fortunately for them, they are otherwise looking much healthier after the bye week.

The Packers had both of their injured starting offensive linemen — right tackle Zach Tom (oblique) and left guard Aaron Banks (groin) — back at practice on Monday, seemingly giving both of them a shot at playing after missing the Cowboys game.

The Packers also opened the 21-day practice windows for both wide receiver Christian Watson and interior offensive lineman Jacob Monk to return to the 53-man roster. Watson had started the season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list as he recovered from last January’s ACL tear, while Monk landed on the injured reserve list with a return designation when the team made its 53-man roster cuts in August.

Wyatt and second-round rookie right tackle Anthony Belton (ankle) were the only two Packers on the 53-man roster who did not participate in Monday’s first practice.
