The Facts: Winston isn't making plans for a future outside of New Orleans just yet. "Technically I'm not a free agent just yet, I have one more year under contract," Winston said Saturday. "My main thing right now is making sure I just stay healthy and be ready to play. That's the only thing that's on my mind. I've got to be ready to play because when given the opportunity, I look forward to taking advantage of it."

Diehards Line: Injuries derailed Winston's 2022 season, as he suffered fractured vertebrae which ultimately caused him to be inactive for two weeks.
