Saints Sign TE Josh Hill to 3-Year Extension

He’s been playing on a 3yr/$7.1 million contract so it’s a nice little raise for a guy who by all accounts has done everything asked of him.

Agree. I’ve always liked him. I also think he still has a ceiling.

Does BnG get a small cut?

It's rather small because Paypal gets a large chunk of the 2% we get from the Josh Hill deal. Nonetheless, I still was able to buy the 3rd Lexus in December.

So here's what we could see at Tight End next year...

TE (3) 81 - Jesse James (FA/PIT 2019), 89 - Josh Hill, 85 - Dan Arnold

TE Jesse James, Penn St.; Height: 6' 7", Weight: 260 LBS

He'll be in high demand so be prepared to pay him.

I'd throw out a name like Jared Cook. A vet with past production and can mentor. I'll be surprised if many teams will be knocking down his door in FA.

What he really wants is to be "the man" at tight end and the Steelers brought in Vance McDonald so I don't think it'll take that much to sign him...

I'm hoping the Saints draft LSU senior and former Jesuit TE Foster Moreau. He is 6"6 250 and the best run blocking TE in the ccoutry. He has good hands, he's much more athletic and faster than people realize and he's a team captain. LSU rarely throws to the TE so we could probably get him as a late roundeer or free agent. I'm pulling hard for this one.

If we lose our tight ends coach to a head coaching job elsewhere, I hope the Saints consider hiring Ben Watson as tight ends coach, if he's interested in coaching. Ben has a ton of experience and he is a moral and ethical juggernaut. Very positive team and locker-room presence. He's a leader.
