The deal includes a guaranteed $21 million, sources say.
Winston started for the Saints in 2021 and went 5-2, but he tore the ACL in his left knee and sustained MCL damage on Oct. 31 against the Buccaneers.
Last season, Winston completed 95 of 161 passes (59%) for 1,170 yards, 14 touchdowns, and three interceptions.
