It appears as if the New Orleans Saints are taking as many measures as they can to keep their dynamic backup QB Taysom Hill.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the team plans on re-signing Hill before he can hit free agency this offseason. If that deal falls through, however, the Saints are reportedly planning on placing a first-round tender on the restricted free agent. If the latter scenario plays out, New Orleans will have a chance to match any offer sheet Hill signs with another team or acquire a first-round pick in return.
The tender is expected to come in around $5 million for the 2020 season.
