Saints' Taysom Hill: Future in New Orleans uncertain

Hill (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL and carries nearly an $18 million cap hit for the 2025 season, could be a cap casualty for the Saints this offseason, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network speculated Wednesday that the Saints "have a decision coming" this offseason on Hill, with Rapoport noting that it's "hard to imagine" the 34-year-old will be back in New Orleans in 2025. Hill faces a recovery timetable of at least nine months after undergoing surgery in December to repair ligament damage in his left knee, making him a likely candidate to miss at least part of the upcoming campaign. Of Hill's cap hit for 2025, Ross Jackson of Louisiana Sports reports that the $10 million base salary is not guaranteed, leaving New Orleans with a direct avenue to potentially restructure his deal. Jackson also notes that Hill could opt to retire.
