Saints match Chicago Bears’ offer, retain tight end Josh Hill

Mr.Riaton · 03-27-2016, 09:22 AM

I believe Hill is wanted more for his run blocking and ST. I think we have come to the conclusion that all our TE's have to be used as pass catching,play making specialist. Sean has never let us down year after year with our offense, so if he wants him here, then good. I'm sure Hill is doing something worth staying here.

I'm not sure it was a real cost-efficient move, but in the event Fleener gets banged up or needs rest, we don't want to get to caught without a receiving threat at tight-end (Hooman's pretty much a blocking specialist).

Hill has no trade clause.

We can't. He has a no trade clause in his contract.

Wow really? so much for that I guess. ahh this is were it came from. thanks

As part of his deal, the tight end has a no-trade clause written into his deal for the 2016 and 2017 seasons, according to source. The clause was written in by the Chicago Bears, who signed Hill to an offer sheet, and became part of the deal when New Orleans matched the offer.

That sounds a little like the poison-pill clauses teams were doing a couple of years back, only a lighter version of it.
