A day after Drew Brees announced his retirement, the New Orleans Saints are bringing back their next potential starting quarterback.

Quarterback Jameis Winston is re-signing with the Saints.

General Manager Mickey Loomis announced the agreement on a one-year contract with the quarterback.

ESPN reported earlier in the evening that Winston will earn "up to" $12 million.

Head coach Sean Payton has said he wants to see Winston compete for the starting job. The first overall pick in the 2015 draft -- who has a 5,000-yard season to go with being the NFL's first ever quarterback with at least 30 touchdown passes and at least 30 interceptions -- has shown that he can get it done, and he has had a full year in the New Orleans system.

As Profootballtalk.com notes, Winston has more experience than his competition, Taysom Hill, having made 70 starts at quarterback. Winston led the NFL with 5,109 passing yards in 2019 and became the first quarterback in NFL history with 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in a single season.

His only Pro Bowl came in his rookie season of 2015.

Worth noting, Hill's recent restructuring created just enough cap space for the Saints to sign his competition.

Hill agreed to a new deal on Sunday that created $7.75 million in cap space for the Saints. ...

In New York. ... Former first-round pick Corey Davis hauled in the best season of his career in 2020 with the Titans and the Jets are banking on that production continuing.

Davis is departing Tennessee and heading for the Big Apple, as the fifth-overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft and the Jets have agreed to terms on a three-year deal for $37.5 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

In 2020, Davis formed an impressive, though somewhat overlooked, tandem with A.J. Brown in the receiving corps for Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill. With the departure of Davis and tight end Jonnu Smith -- along with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith -- the Titans offense will most certainly look different in 2021.

The Jets are hoping for much the same, bringing in Davis after he turned in career-highs of 65 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns last season. All of those numbers would have led a beleaguered Jets receiving corps in 2020. ...

In New England. ... The Patriots are shelling out big-money to upgrade their offense and the afore-mentioned Smith agreed to a contract to leave Tennessee for Foxboro.

The deal is for four years, worth $50 million, including $31.25 million guaranteed, Rapoport reported. The $12.5 million per year average places Smith third among tight ends behind George Kittle and Travis Kelce. The guaranteed money is tops at the position.

The pass-catching tight end is a perfect fit in New England and will immediately upgrade a weapons-poor unit that surrounded Cam Newton in 2020.

In four years in Tennessee, Smith compiled 114 catches for 1,302 yards and 16 TDs. The athletic dynamo is dominant after the catch, averaging 6.8 YAC over his career.

In the past, Patriots coach Bill Belichick has glowed about Smith's talent after the catch.

"(He's) great after the catch, probably the best in the league," Belichick said in Jan. 2020. "I mean, I can't imagine anyone better than him after the catch."

The Patriots were in desperate need of upgrading the tight end position.

Not a single Pats TE had more than 14 catches in 2020. Ryan Izzo led the way with 13 catches for 199 yards. It was one of the worst groups in the league.

Blocking isn't Smith's forte, but it's improved the last few years to the point that it isn't a negative, which will be key in the Pats' balanced offense.

In addition, the Patriots are giving former Las Vegas Raiders receiver Nelson Agholor a two-year, $26 million deal and former 49ers wideout Kendrick Bourne a three-year, $22.5 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Once the Patriots decided to bring back Newton at quarterback, it was a reflection that they were committed to getting more weapons around him. Enter Agholor, who averaged 18.7 yards per catch last season in a breakout season for the Raiders. He is fast and explosive, and while he has been plagued by drops at times, he immediately becomes a top-3 option in New England.

Bourne, meanwhile, is a precise route-runner who plays multiple spots, and should help the Patriots on third down, where he has excelled by showing a knack for creating separation.

The Patriots were 17th in the NFL on third down last season, converting 40.7 percent of the time. Bourne is also 25, so the Patriots are getting him in his prime years, similar to Smith (25).

Those were just a few of a number of moves the Patriots made Monday, including the addition of former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Matthew Judon, who reached an agreement with the Patriots on a four-year, $56 million deal. The deal includes $32 million guaranteed.

New England also agreed to terms with defensive back Jalen Mills on a four-year deal and with defensive tackle Davon Godchaux for two years and $16 million. The Patriots are re-signing defensive end Deatrich Wise, who's been with the Pats since they drafted him in the fourth round in 2017. ...

In Tampa Bay. ... The Super Bowl champion Buccaneers continue to get the band back together.

The latest to rejoin: Rob Gronkowski.

The star tight end and the Bucs agreed to a 1-year deal worth $10 million, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told Schefter on Monday.

Gronkowski was one of several high-profile Bucs players -- defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, wide receiver Antonio Brown, kicker Ryan Succop and running back Leonard Fournette were among the others -- whom the team had hoped to bring back following last month's Super Bowl win.

Earlier Monday, the Bucs and star pass-rusher Shaquil Barrett agreed to a four-year deal worth up to $72 million.

The Buccaneers traded a fourth-round draft pick to the New England Patriots last offseason for Gronkowski's rights and a seventh-round pick. Gronkowski, who had retired from the NFL in 2019, started off the season slowly, shaking off some rust after being away from football for a year and finding a role in Bruce Arians' offense, which wasn't known for being tight end friendly.

While offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and quarterback Tom Brady worked to carve out a role for Gronkowski, he embraced his role as a blocker and as a leader and finished the regular season with 45 receptions for 623 yards and 7 touchdowns.

He peaked at the right time, though, finishing with two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 31-9 victory in Super Bowl LV as he and Brady broke Joe Montana's and Jerry Rice's postseason record for most touchdowns by a QB-receiving duo. ...

In Washington. ... Ryan Fitzpatrick will join a ninth team in his long NFL career.

The quarterback has agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal that could grow to $12 million with incentives, Schefter reported late Monday night.

Washington entered free agency seeking a veteran to join Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen in the quarterbacks room. They found who they were looking for in Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick, 38, spent the past two seasons in Miami. He started 20 games for the Dolphins, including seven in 2020 while grooming rookie Tua Tagovailoa for the job.

As PFT's Charean Williams notes, in 16 seasons, Fitzpatrick has started 146 games and completed 60.7 percent of his passes for 34,977 yards with 223 touchdowns and 169 interceptions. ...

In New York. ... The Giants agreed to a two-year deal worth up to $6 million with former Las Vegas Raiders running back Devontae Booker, the team announced.

According to ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan, this likely spells the end of Wayne Gallman's time with the Giants.

Booker is the veteran backup behind Saquon Barkley.

And the Giants needed a veteran backup behind Barkley, because their star running back is coming back from an ACL tear. He's not going to return and play 100 percent of the snaps coming off that injury, especially early in the season.

So Booker it is.

As Raanan suggested, Booker might not be as good a pure runner as Gallman, but he's probably a more well-rounded back. This was key. Booker averaged 4.5 yards per carry last year for the Raiders and caught 17 balls out of the backfield.

In Jacksonville. ... Running back Carlos Hyde, who spent part of the 2018 season in Jacksonville, is returning on a two-year, $6 million deal. Hyde reunites with Urban Meyer, for whom he played while in college at Ohio State.

Also headed to Duval is wide receiver Phillip Dorsett. In addition, the Jags have an agreement with wide receiver/kick returner Jamal Agnew for three years and a max value of $21 million

The Jaguars added Hyde to back up James Robinson, who ran for 1,070 yards as an undrafted rookie last season, and are hoping Hyde's second stint in Jacksonville goes better than his first. The Jaguars sent a fifth-round pick to Cleveland for Hyde in October 2018 because of injuries to running back Leonard Fournette.

Hyde ran for 189 yards on 58 carries in eight games with the Jaguars and wasn't happy with the way he was used. The Jaguars cut him in March 2019.

Hyde rushed for 356 yards and four touchdowns on 81 carries (4.4 yards per carry) in 10 games with the Seattle Seahawks in 2020. He added 93 yards on 16 catches. One of his four touchdowns came on a 50-yard run, his longest of the season.

Dorsett did not play in 2020 because of a foot injury but had 29 catches and 397 yards in 2019 for the Seahawks. He has never had more than 32 receptions or 528 receiving yards in any of his five seasons.

Detroit drafted Agnew in the fifth round as a corner in 2017, and he transitioned to receiver last season but had only 16 catches for 105 yards. However, he was a first-team All-Pro returner as a rookie and averaged 25.8 yards on 64 kick returns (one TD) and 11.6 yards on 74 punt returns (four TDs).

Ford has started just two games over the past four seasons with Philadelphia and Arizona, which drafted him in the sixth round in 2017.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to a contract with former Bears defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris on a three-year, $24.4 million deal with $14 million in guarantees. Guard Andrew Norwell has agreed to restructure his contract. Jacksonville is also planning to sign safety Rudy Ford to a two-year, $4.2 million deal and the team re-signed defensive end Dawuane Smoot to a two-year, $14 million deal.

In Houston. ... The Texans are set to sign former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore on a one-year deal worth up to $2 million, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

A fourth-round pick in 2016, Moore has played the first five seasons of his career with the Ravens. He was limited to just three games played last season as multiple injuries kept him out of action and on the injured reserve list for a seven-week stretch during the middle of the year.

Moore has appeared in 61 career games for Baltimore with 47 catches for 511 yards and four touchdowns. His most productive year with the team came in 2017 when he caught 18 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns.

It's been couple of days for the Texans. They acquired Marcus Cannon from the New England Patriots, and acquired Shaq Lawson from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for Bernardrick McKinney in a pair of trades agreed upon on Sunday.

As PFT's Curtis Crabtree pointed out, Moore is now the ninth agreement of the day for the team along with fellow wide receiver Andre Roberts, linebacker Joe Thomas, Kamu Grugier-Hill and Kevin Pierre-Louis, defensive tackle Maliek Collins, defensive backs Terrence Brooks and Tremon Smith and offensive lineman Justin McCray. ...
