Sean Payton praises TE Coby Fleener; Saints could lose TE Josh Hill

The New Orleans Saints have spent big on the tight-end position so far this offseason. But they might not have enough left over to keep restricted free agent Josh Hill from bolting to the Chicago Bears.

Hill signed a three-year offer sheet with Chicago on Monday that ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan reported is worth a maximum of $7.5 million with $3.25 million guaranteed. The Saints have five days to match the offer or they will lose Hill with no compensation in return.
