It’s not even training camp yet, but add this to your overflowing file cabinet of Hill-Winston quarterback drama.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton plans to start Taysom Hill over Jameis Winston and will only give Winston a chance if the “experiment” fails, as reported by Ben Volin of the Boston Globe.

According to Volin’s league sources, the quarterback competition is “not truly open” and Payton seems to have his mind set on Hill already. Or at the very least, “trying” him out as the starting QB and changing his game plan from there.
