Saints did sign a QB today: Taysom Hill. Saints are signing Hill to a two-year deal that really is a one-year extension of the first-round, $4.6 million contract tender they gave him in March, per source. But Hill is tied to Saints through 2021 season.




So....what are we doing with quarterback?

I don’t understand, what is the end-goal with Hill?

Are we really gonna trot him out there to be the starter after Drew?

The Saints have used up their quota of WTF moments for the year in the last three days.

Slow your roll baws, he is basically getting the same deal Teddy got last year...it will be for 8 million, which is not bad.

Is it possible that hill actually can play quarterback in the NFL? Or is it possible that Payton is trying to build up his value? Who knows really. Payton does things differently.

Underhill’s thoughts:

That’s a good deal for both sides.

quote:

- Saints aren’t overly committed to Hill before he proves it at QB, and he can probably earn that check in the role he’s in now.

- Hill gets a good amount of money before ever having to start at QB.

Contract looks in line with a weapon x type hybrid. Expect to see Taysom on the field playing many positions.

I’m not understanding the concern in this thread. He’s an incredibly valuable player for us even if he’s not playing quarterback

They’re serious about having him on the team. This deal is by no means a sign they’re handing him the job. The numbers don’t reflect that. Honestly, Hill could easily make 8-10 mill a year if not more in his current role.

Hill is one of the most valuable players on the whole team, nearly beat the Vikings by himself. I see no issues here. Whether he’s the future QB or not, I want him here

You’re right.

It’s essentially a 1 year $16.3 million deal
