Sean Payton expects Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill to compete for New Orleans Saints' starting QB job

METAIRIE, La. -- Saints coach Sean Payton said he expects Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill to compete for New Orleans' starting quarterback job in the wake of Drew Brees' retirement.

Payton left open the possibility that the Saints will still consider other options at the position during an interview Tuesday with The Dan Patrick Show. But when asked if the Saints are "set" at quarterback, Payton responded, "I think we are. I think we are."

The Saints re-signed Winston on Monday, agreeing to a one-year deal worth up to $12 million with the former Heisman Trophy winner.
