The market for TEs must be shallow.

Always the little things that even us highly scrutinizing passionate fans don't know about. That's why you gotta trust these guys know what they are doing.

Josh is signed for his ability to block, not his ability as a pass catcher. If you ever watch him he is a really good run blocker

Re: Saints Sign TE Josh Hill to 3-Year Extension
 

And he's not a bad pass catcher, either. He has the third best reception percentage on the team for receivers (WR's and TE's) with 14 or more targets at 66.7% (16 for 24), trailing only Thomas (85%) and Watson (76.1%). Meredith had the highest percentage being 9 for 10 (90%) at the time he was placed on IR.

ne he's not terrible. He is fairly athletic if you watch him on the TE screens. But his run blocking is something I began to notice this year

Re: Saints Sign TE Josh Hill to 3-Year Extension
 

I agree. He is underappreciated in both aspects of his game and I am glad he'll be around for a few more years. He'll just continue to improve.

8.85 sounds like backup / role player money. That's fine. Hill hasn't shown the ability to be a #1.

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.
