NEW ORLEANS — Taysom Hill didn't stay unemployed in the NFL for long.
One day after being a victim of the league's final roster cutdown, the former BYU quarterback was claimed off waivers by the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. JJ Dielman, the former Ute center drafted by Cincinnati, was the only other local claimed off waivers, as the Los Angeles Rams claimed him.
