Now they're letting Andre go, so why wouldn't they keep Winston?
He is a year older. And was worse last year than at any point in his career.
They are not rookies any more. Ogbuehi is healthy and got experience, Fisher got his feet wet too. Boling is locked in long term and can play tackle. Whit signed back.
Better question is why is he back? If we are playing against anyone other than a super scrub team. And Winston is taking meaningful snaps against a halfway decent defender. We are in a really bad spot. Not to mention we gave him over a million bucks. Anything over vet minimum is far too much.
Sure its cool to see a real life Shrek standing on the sidelines. But the fact he takes up a roster spot and costs us money that could have gone to extending Zeitler and or bringing Andre back kills all of that.
