Here's the ONLY way Taysom can earn the maximum from his new contract the way it is structured. (ie. $23.75 million per year average)

Here’s how Taysom Hill can get the most out of his new contract

In all, the only way for Taysom to see the most possible of his contract is if the following happened in each 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Taysom appears for 70% of offensive snaps.

He (needs to) Throw 146/224 for 4,000+ passing yards and 30+ passing touchdowns while rushing for at least 600 yards and 10 scores

The Saints will need to be at least 13-4 and a top-10 scoring offense and top-10 offense in total yardage in the regular season.

Hill plays 50% of postseason snaps at QB with at least 10 passing attempts and 10 passing yards.

He’ll have to be a Super Bowl winning Pro Bowler.

Then, he’ll have to play the 2025 season as the Saints starting QB long enough to earn the escalators earned in 2024. At 35 years old.

If all of that happens including the three Lombardi trophies then I would say his $23.75 million per year average would be a "steal". Otherwise he receives much less.

Ok Guido, let me ask you this. Serious (non trapping) question, this contract pays more money to Hill (next year) than it does to Kamara (maybe CGM as well). How do you feel about that?

I'm sorry, Boston, but that is incorrect. Both Kamara ($14.5M) and Thomas ($24.7M) are larger 2022 cap hits than Hill ($12.325M). That said, I don't care what the players get paid individually. I never have and I never will. If Hill does eventually get paid more in a given year than any other player it doesn't matter at all to me. I don't really see why it should matter to anyone.

Ok, you changed to “cap hit” vs, payed, so I am not incorrect. But, even using your twist, It sounds like you agree that Hill is worth “more” than Kamara and Thomas? I don’t agree.

The amount paid is the cap hit. Jesus Christ, Boston. The cap hit is their pay. It is their base salary plus bonus

And where the hell did I ever imply that Taysom is more valuable than Kamara or Thomas? Where do you come up with this crap? Salary has nothing to do with value to the team. That's another reason why I have always felt that what a player is getting paid was not important to me.

Ok, typical Guido avoidance. Exactly What I expected.

What am I avoiding? I said I do not think nor have I ever implied that Hill is more valuable than Kamara or Thomas. What part of that don't you understand? I don't know what you are expecting. Other than your usual arguing over meaningless crap.
