NFL Rumors: Saints Extending Taysom Hill, Finalizing Deal With Jameis Winston

The New Orleans Saints appear to be bolstering their quarterback room around Drew Brees.

The Saints are signing Taysom Hill to a two-year extension, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. This comes after Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson reported early Sunday morning that New Orleans was finalizing a deal with Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston.

In essence, the extension gives Hill an additional year with the franchise. He previously had agreed to a one-year, $4.6 million tender this offseason, and he's now tied to the team through the 2021 season. According to Robinson, Hill's new deal is worth $21 million with $16 million guaranteed and another $1 million of incentives.
