Jameis Winston to the Giants: A Move That Shakes Up the Bears’ 2025 Draft Plans
The New York Giants have just made a move that could send shockwaves through the 2025 NFL Draft. They’ve signed veteran quarterback Jameis Winston to a two-year, $8 million deal, and this decision has significant implications—especially for the Chicago Bears and their first-round pick.
So, let’s break it down. The Giants hold the third overall pick in the 2025 draft. Up until now, they were seen as one of the wildcard teams that could shake things up ahead of Chicago, which owns the 10th pick. The expectation was that the Giants were going to be in the mix for a top rookie quarterback, possibly Cam Ward from Miami or Shedeur Sanders from Colorado. But with Ward likely going first overall to the Tennessee Titans and Sanders’ stock slipping recently, there was a lot of uncertainty. Some thought the Giants might take a big swing at Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson, but instead, they’ve opted for Winston. And that changes everything.

Now, let’s talk about Winston. He was the first overall pick in 2015 and has shown flashes of brilliance in his career. But let’s be real—his tendency to turn the ball over has kept him from being a true franchise quarterback. That’s why he’s likely to serve as a bridge quarterback for the Giants while a rookie—potentially Sanders—gets time to develop. This makes it much more likely that New York will take a quarterback early in the draft, which is where things get really interesting for Chicago.
With the Giants likely selecting a quarterback at No. 3, that means two QBs will be off the board before the Bears even get to make their pick. This is huge because it guarantees that at least one of the top non-quarterback prospects—who would usually be taken before the 10th pick—will now fall into Chicago’s lap. Not only that, but the Bears’ pick just became way more valuable for any team looking to trade up for a QB3, like Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart.
For Chicago, this is the best-case scenario. They were already in a solid spot at No. 10, but Winston’s signing just made their pick even more valuable. If a team wants to move up for a quarterback, the Bears could cash in on a big trade, securing extra draft capital. Or, they could stay put and land a top-tier player who otherwise would have been out of reach.
So, while Jameis Winston may not be a long-term answer for the Giants, his signing has set off a chain reaction that could greatly benefit the Chicago Bears. As we get closer to the draft, this move could prove to be one of the most pivotal moments leading up to the big day. Buckle up—this NFL Draft just got a lot more interesting.
