The New York Giants have agreed a deal to sign veteran NFL quarterback Jameis Winston.
Winston and the Giants are finalizing a two-year contract worth $8million. However, it could rise to $16m with incentives.
In tribute to Frank Sinatra's iconic song 'New York, New York', Winston celebrated the deal by posting on X: 'Start spreading the neWs'.
However, ESPN's Adam Schefter insist the move will not stop the Giants signing or drafting a new quarterback in the coming weeks.
It does pose the possibility of Winston starting for the Giants next season while they develop a younger quarterback for the future.
The Giants have the No. 3 pick in next month's NFL Draft and have been linked with Shedeur Sanders of the Colorado Buffaloes.

Head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen are under pressure to deliver results in the fourth season at the helm of the iconic franchise.
Winston last played for the Cleveland Browns. He played 12 games there last season, completing 61.1 per cent of his passes for 2,121 yards and 13 touchdowns.
The decision to sign Winston also suggests the Giants no longer hold an interest in adding a second veteran quarterback in Aaron Rodgers.
After the Minnesota Vikings rejected the chance to sign Rodgers earlier this week, he met with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday - a visit that went really well.
