Taysom Hill

As of now, the Saints are undecided on who the starting quarterback will be heading into the 2021 season. If it's Hill, he's going to jump all the way up into the top-15 quarterback conversation. If I knew he'd start all 17 games, he'd be ranked top-10 for his rushing upside, but it seems like Jameis Winston has the slight edge heading into camp. Do you think that sounds crazy? It's not. Hill was the QB6 during the month he started while Drew Brees was out. This is a battle we'll be watching closely as the season nears.

Taysom Hill and New Orleans Saints agree on a 'four-year, $140M contract'

Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Saints have restructured QB Taysom Hill’s contract, which includes a four-year $140M extension that is entirely voidable.

Wasting no time after Drew Brees shared his retirement, the Saints announced that they have given Hill a four-year, $140M extension. While these are big numbers this should essentially be viewed as a move to create further cap space for the Saints as Hill’s contract is fully voidable. Hill started four games at QB in 2020 and totaled 928 yards passing with 4 TD’s and 2 Int’s.
