The New Orleans Saints have five days to match the offer tight end Josh Hill received Tuesday from the Chicago Bears in order to retain him for 2016.

The Bears offered Hill a three-year contract, according to the Chicago Tribune. The amount of money involved is uncertain.

NFL teams can start signing free agents on Wednesday (March 9). We'll keep an updated tally of the Saints' moves right here.

Hill is a restricted free agent. Because the Saints extended a qualifying offer of $1.671 million earlier this month, they have the right to match the offer sheet.
