The New Orleans Saints went into 2021 knowing that they would have a decision to make about the future leader of their team. Future Hall-of-Famer Drew Brees retired, and the black and gold needed to decide to run with a QB on their roster, sign one, or draft one.

Obviously, they opted to re-sign Jameis Winston to a one-year contract, and they restructured Taysom Hill to a monster fully-voidable contract, so that he could also be a free agent next season.
