The New Orleans Saints aren’t going to let quarterback Taysom Hill leave without getting something in return. The team plans to place a first-round tender on Hill, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The move shows just how much the Saints value the 29-year-old. By placing a first-round tender on Hill, the Saints have the ability to match any offer Hill takes from another team. If the Saints decline to match that offer, letting Hill walk, the team will receive a first-round draft pick as compensation.
Since he entered the NFL, Hill has been used as a multi-position weapon for the Saints.
