The New Orleans Saints and Taysom Hill agreed on a contract extension last week that spawned a ton of attention and conversation. Among the many talking points, the uniqueness of the deal itself was worth discussion. A hybrid contract that paid Hill one figure to maintain his current role and another if he became the Saints’ starting quarterback.
The four-year extension keeps Hill in New Orleans through the 2025 season, at least on paper, along with a voidable 2026 year which will soon be used as the fifth year of a sure-to-be restructured $9M roster bonus.
