And we thought last summer had a lot of question marks for the Saints. After Sean Payton’s abrupt retirement on Tuesday, the New Orleans Saints currently don’t have a head coach or clear quarterback No. 1 for 2022. Which means that this offseason will have a lot of handwringing and speculation as the Saints try to sort out two of the most important slots for a successful team.
Taysom Hill, however, is very much still on the Saints roster. In fact, he’s there to stay long-term. Hill is under contract until 2026, and while his record as a starting quarterback is excellent — Hill is 7-2 as a starter in his past two seasons — a lot of that success can be and has been ascribed to the impeccable game-planning process of Payton.
