The New Orleans Saints plan to use Taysom Hill primarily as a tight end instead of a quarterback going forward, new coach Dennis Allen confirmed Tuesday.
That shouldn't come as a big surprise, considering the Saints -- after pursuing a trade for Deshaun Watson -- just signed Jameis Winston to a two-year deal with a base value of $28 million to be their starting quarterback.
Still, it's noteworthy since Hill spent last summer in an open competition with Winston for the starting quarterback job, which won't be the case again in 2022.
