The New Orleans Saints have tendered quarterback Taysom Hill.
According to ProFootballTalk, the Saints hit Hill with a first round tender. They’ll now be able to match any offer a team makes him or they’ll get a first round pick if he bounces. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
Hill is viewed as the heir apparent to Drew Brees.

This is going to be one of the most fascinating storylines to follow in the NFL. You can bet like hell teams will make a run at Taysom Hill.
We don’t really know what his ceiling is as a quarterback, but we know he’s a great athlete. Given how the position is trending in the game, his athleticism is a huge advantage.

The Saints definitely want to hang onto him as Brees winds down his career and Teddy Bridgewater is set to leave.
The question is what price are they willing to hang onto him at. Again, he’s a great player, but they can’t really throw a ton of money his way and keep Brees around.

That means for a big enough price, he’ll be out of New Orleans. All I know for sure is that Hill is a ton of fun to watch, and I can’t wait to see how this all plays out.
