There’s an elephant in the room, and New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton is aware of it. Payton held his end-of-year press conference on Tuesday, and took some time to acknowledge a complicated Saints quarterback situation.
Drew Brees and Teddy Bridgewater will be unrestricted free agents in March. Taysom Hill is going to be a restricted free agent. Payton admitted that, in a perfect world, all three quarterbacks would be retained in 2020. But that may not be a realistic situation, and he knows there’s a real chance one or two of his passers won’t return next season.
