While the future regarding Taysom Hill as a starting quarterback is still unknown, we do now officially know that he’ll be back with the New Orleans Saints in 2020 having not been offered by another team after having a first-round tender stuck to his name.
This was the likely move all along as no team is willing to pay the steep price of a first-round pick for Hill. A superstar in Payton’s system, how Hill would perform under a different head coach and offensive coordinator is rather unknown, potentially taming teams that may need a Hill-like player.
Hill officially became a Saint once again when the NFL deadline to offer any unsigned restricted free agent passed.
