Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

The Saints gave Taysom Hill a first-round tender, and Chris Simms doesn't see any team offering up that high of a draft pick and signing him to a big deal.

Might get good, might not? Surely going to see either way.

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

Could he still sign a long term contract with us if another team doesn’t make an offer or does the 1 year deal stick unless another team makes an offer?

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

A player with a tender tag can negotiate with other teams but his original team has the right to match any offer he receives from another team.

Highly unlikely that will happen, of course. Picks 27-32 are playoff teams, none in any great need of a QB. Next is the Dolphins via trade, but they have 3 first-rounders.
Jacksonville at #20 is really the only case I see it happening.

Would I take a #20 for a utility man who is set to make 4.5 million? Probably

I am assuming it acts like the franchise tag where you have until sometime in July to negotiate a long term deal. At that point the tag terms kick in. I haven't found anything contrary to that though.

The front office knows his value to the Saints. Yeah, a first round pick seems about right.

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

a first round tender = a $4.6 million contract
a second round tender = $3.3 million contract

Pretty much no way a team will give up a first, but maybe someone would give up a mid to late second. Probably a great move hedging that extra $1.3 million to guarantee he stays

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

If somebody wants to give up a first for him I’m cool with that.

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

That 1st rd tender is a placeholder while a multi year deal is worked out. I'd be shocked if any team is willing to part a 1st rd pick for Taysom.

The Saints want to continue with Taysom in his current role. Now if someone said a 2nd rounder ? ... different conversation & what the front office brass probably wanted to avoid. Some team with a ton of cash floating around the option of a 2nd at TH knowing that we can't match (RFA).

Can't wait for the free agency "freenzy" to begin next week :bng:.

I can see it now.................."DS AND THE MICKSTER STUN THE NFL BY GIVING UP THE TEAMS FIRST ROUND PICK TO SIGN TAYSOM HILL"

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

My question is if the Saints do want him as Brees aire why the he!! would he even consider signing a long term deal at that measiiy 4.8 mil? Don't know what backup qb. money is, but probably higher than 4.8 mil. He would be getting it stuck to him signing any deal long term like that as Brees aire. If I'm him I take a little more than Bridgewater money, it's not like Bridgewater will be here.

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

As a restricted FA, he does not have a lot of options. and fewer now that he was tendered. Considering he made $645,000 last year, a 4 million dollar raise looks pretty good.

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

The $4.6 million tender amount has nothing to do with the annual salary of a long term deal. It is solely the value of a one year tender. Any deal made would eliminate the tender and will be for whatever amount is negotiated between Loomis and Hill's agent.

The heir apparent to #9 isn't in the building yet folks.

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

I agree.

Re: Would anyone give up pick for Hill?
 

Thanks that was the answer I was after.

Thrilled Drew staying and hoping Taysom does too!
