New Orleans’ QB Taysom Hill signed a unique four-year, hybrid-type of contract extension that could be worth anywhere between $40 million and $95 million, depending on the position he plays, and includes $22.5 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN.


No idea what we are doing here

Sounds like Nick Underhill believes this will drop his cap hit.

Taysom Hill is currently slated to count as $8.9 million against the cap next year after his current deal expires. Have to imagine this new deal will lower that number number.

This might be the strangest extension I’ve seen us do in terms of the timing in quite some time

ETA: this looks like the details from his extension he did in March

I love it. Interesting that they were able to construct it where he will get paid differently based on position.

We couldn't do this for Jimmy Graham, huh?

Taysom Hill’s hybrid deal is unique and unlike other contracts because it pays him a $40 million base salary for the role that he’s currently playing, and up to an additional $55 million if he does become the Saints’ starting QB for the next four seasons.

There's a non-zero chance he doesn't play football again after the next big hit. This is pretty strange. Perhaps this is the precursor to him being named the starter Thursday.

I fully expect Taysom to start on Thursday. I will be disappointed if he doesn’t.

If it is taysom time, we gotta quit running the same offense. Give him 2 reads, and tell him to take off if they covered. Run, run, run, and then slide before the hit

I don't think we've wasted more money on a single player. He hasn't earned it.


And i kike how you've shifted from your irrational Morested hate to irrational Taysom infatuation.

What the frick is wrong with Sean Payton motherfricker can't even sniff the field then you go sign him to that kind of fricking contract. What a fricking moron. This is why the saints will never fricking compete for a super bowl again. They're stupid in the front office

Hill will earn $40MM in base salary if he continues in his gadget role. But, if he becomes the Saints’ starting quarterback for the next four years, he could net an additional $55MM, according to Schefter.

The deal is yet another stroke of cap wizardry from Saints GM Mickey Loomis, who already agreed to an entirely voidable four-year, $140MM re-up with Hill in March. We’re still awaiting word on how this latest deal impacts the previous one, but the new deal likely supersedes/replaces the last one. In short, Hill did receive a true $140MM re-up this spring. Instead, his actual contract for this year includes a $9.7MM signing bonus, a $1.4MM guaranteed roster bonus, and $1.03MM in guaranteed base salary, plus incentives. All together, that’s a shade over $12MM for 2021.
