The New Orleans Saints and Taysom Hill have agreed to a contract extension keeping the dynamic playmaker in New Orleans for the next four season. The contract amount will be dependent upon what position he plays moving forward.
Taysom Hill’s 4-year $40M deal could escalate to as high as $95M if he becomes the Saints’ starting quarterback in 2022 and beyond. Hill will also see $22.5M of guaranteed money in either iteration. The New Orleans Saints, Mickey Loomis, and cap guru Khai Hartley have put together another innovative way to maintain a top weapon.
The Saints are not new to cap gymnastics and creative approaches to new contracts. They innovated a new way to handle fifth-year options with Marshon Lattimore’s contract before his extension and the infancy of this wrinkle can be found in right tackle Ryan Ramczyk’s extension which includes incentives if he makes 1st-team all-pro at left tackle as opposed to his natural position on the right side.
This is a very interesting deal for Taysom Hill and the Saints, but does it mean anything in the immediate future? Could this be a signal of the Saints wanting to look at Taysom at signal caller now before those incentives could kick in in 2022? Or will there be more complications to get him in the position this year?
