What the hell are the Saints doing?

Is Taysom Hill really worth this contract?

Their whole handling of the QB position since Brees retired has been questionable at best.

Someone much smarter than me on a saints board had a couple thoughts...

"Seems like this locks Taysom in for 2 more years and we avoid the automatic $9mm dead cap in 2022-23

Basically he’s on a real contract for his current salary for 2 years now, not all voidable

It’s an overpay but not really a big deal. Saves us money in the short term"

"Unless this new deal somehow counts for more against the cap than $9 million, this is fine. I’ve already accepted that Sean wants him on the team, if he’ll be a little cheaper, whatever."

Winston was 5-2 as a starter on very team friendly deal. Not sure what they could've done better considering the cap restrictions

Should have signed Cam!

I think they are trying to be cap-smart here with Hill. No doubt the Saints are in transition from Brees and other players. Hill suffered a brutal concussion earlier and is recovering from an ankle right now. He may retire if another concussion occurs. It's been a tough year and Payton looked defeated in the postgame yesterday.

Aaron Rodgers needs to be in New Orleans next year
