Jameis Winston visiting Giants Tuesday as desperate team searches for QB



Saquon Barkley might have called it.

Jameis Winston asked the Eagles’ All-Pro running back who was going to sign the free agent quarterback at the Super Bowl in February.

“I think New York needs a quarterback right now,” Barkley said, indicating he meant his former Giants team.

Now Winston, 31, is visiting the Giants on Tuesday, per NFL Network, with a chance to sign in the Big Apple.

“Would I really sign with the Giants? Absolutely!” Winston told NJ Advance Media in New Orleans. “I want to keep playing and do what I do best.”

The Giants’ search for a quarterback has felt interminable. They tried to trade for Matthew Stafford and pay him, but he decided to stay with the Rams instead.

They now want Aaron Rodgers, but sources have told the Daily News that Rodgers to the Giants seems unlikely as he deliberates on the Vikings, Steelers, Giants or retirement — although with Rodgers, no one ever truly knows for sure.

So the Giants hosted Joe Flacco and Russell Wilson on free agent visits last Thursday and Friday, respectively. And now they’re bringing in Winston, the former No. 1 overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft.
