Winston, 32, was previously contracted for $8 million over two seasons and had appeared in just two games last season. Now firmly in the role of second string, Winston offers experience and mentorship to rookie Jaxson Dart and serves on coach John Harbaugh's leadership council. This extension provides salary cap relief and keeps Winston under contract through 2028.",
