Salt Lake City, UT, August 4, 2026 —
Taysom Hill has officially confirmed his departure from the New Orleans Saints, concluding a nine-season tenure with the team.
Following Hill’s departure, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who previously coached Hill in New Orleans, has indicated an interest in exploring the possibility of bringing the versatile player to Denver.
Payton stated that he plans to discuss potential next steps with Hill soon. These discussions will reportedly take into account Hill’s current health status and his desire to continue his playing career.
Adding another layer to a potential move to Denver is Hill’s existing connection to the city. The doctor who performed his knee surgery is based in Denver, creating a pre-existing relationship with the area’s medical community.
