Drops: Taysom Hill
Tight ends are in favor, while defensive tackles are not on the Las Vegas team
Broncos head coach Sean Payton will be in Canton, Ohio this week to take part in Drew Brees’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and he’ll also do a little work on a possible addition to his roster. Payton said over the weekend that the Broncos will explore signing former Saints tight end Taysom Hill and Hill will also be in Canton for Brees’s induction. That will give Payton a chance to see where things stand. “There’s no hurry right now. I’m going to see him in five days ,” Payton said Monday, via Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com. “We’ll see where he’s at and kind of go from there. ... The key thing is his health and, you know, where he’s at mentally. I don’t want to assume he wants to play.” Hill released a statement last month saying that he doesn’t “have a clear answer about what the future holds, but I know that returning to New Orleans is not in the cards.” He had knee surgery in 2024 that was performed by the Broncos’ team doctor Karim Meijer and Payton said that Meijer has followed up with Hill during visits in Denver since the operation
Broncos head coach Sean Payton stated there is no immediate rush to sign free-agent Taysom Hill, citing a need to assess Hill's mental state and desire to play another season. Payton also mentioned the team's current roster depth at tight end, running back, and receiver, suggesting Hill might fill a limited gadget role with low fantasy value if signed

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton told NFL Network’s Cynthia Frelund that they will explore bringing in former New Orleans Saints veteran tight end/quarterback/running back Taysom Hill. Hill flourished under Sean Payton with the Saints and had teams scrambling to find the next Taysom Hill every year since. Now, the soon-to-be 36-year-old tight end who […]
The Denver Broncos are reportedly exploring the possibility of signing free agent Taysom Hill, who previously played for current Broncos head coach Sean Payton in New Orleans
Broncos head coach Sean Payton told reporters Saturday that the team will explore signing Hill, who parted ways with the Saints earlier this week, Steve Wyche of NFL Network reports. Hill spent the first nine years of his NFL career with the Saints but announced Wednesday in a social media post that he would not return to New Orleans for a 10th season. There appears to be great interest from the Broncos to bring in the versatile tight end, who played under Payton for several of his years with the Saints. Hill has demonstrated his ability to play in multiple roles and spots on offense and would give the Broncos another legitimate playmaker alongside Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle and J.K. Dobbins
Broncos head coach Sean Payton indicated the team will consider signing free-agent tight end Taysom Hill, who previously played under Payton for five seasons with the Saints. Hill, who is 35 and has not confirmed if he will play in 2026, has a unique role as a runner, receiver, and occasional quarterback, skills Payton knows how to utilize. Denver is currently only exploring the possibility
Hill posted a farewell message to the Saints on his personal X account Wednesday. Hill was rumored to be on his way out in New Orleans ahead of the offseason, and he made the news official Wednesday. The 35-year-old has spent the last nine seasons as a member of the Saints' roster, and he has logged snaps at tight end, quarterback, wide receiver and running back while returning kicks as well. The jack-of-all-trades has not committed to what he plans on doing moving forward, but if Hill is active in 2026, he will now be wearing a new team's uniform
Taysom Hill has announced his departure from the New Orleans Saints after nine seasons, posting a goodbye message on his X account. The 35-year-old, who has played multiple positions including QB, TE, RB, and WR, recorded 489 carries for 2,551 yards and 34 TDs, along with 110 receptions for 1,034 yards and 11 TDs in 118 games. Hill's fantasy value is uncertain as he enters his 10th season without a team, especially given his injury history over the past two years and the unlikelihood of a major role with a new organization

It’s been over a week since New England Patriots tight end Julian Hill was placed on season-ending injured reserve just months after signing a three-year deal with the Patriots to pair up with veteran Hunter Henry . Now, New England may need to address the tight end room as the offseason continues, adding another body to the mix. “I think just from a numbers standpoint in camp, I think that’s somewhere we’ll probably have to evaluate the numbers,” head coach Mike Vrabel said before Wednesday’s mandatory minicamp practice . “There’s 90 guys, 91 guys on every team. So, we’ll just have to take a look at that, but I would say that’s probably somewhere where we would have to address.” However, a thin group of free agents remains at the position, including former Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith and recovering veterans Taysom Hill and Zach Ertz . Otherwise, New England would be picking from an already poached undrafted free agent class. Currently, the Patriots have just five rostered tight ends : Henry, hybrid tight end and fullback Jack Westover, who primarily played in the backfield last season, rookie Eli Raridon, 2025 undrafted free agent CJ Dippre and undrafted free agent Tanner Arkin, from Illinois. New England spent a third-round pick in the NFL Draft this offseason to select Raridon. At Notre Dame, the 22-year-old has 48 career receptions for the Fighting Irish, with 32 coming his senior season. Raridon could take on a larger role quickly this offseason to help replace Hill’s role in 2026. “Willing, conscientious, wants to learn,” Vrabel said of Raridon’s progress. “I think there’s a lot of new things that come in from college, and terminology is different, and there’s a lot of things that are new to him, but I would say that he picks things up quickly. When he’s able to play with the speed that he has available to him, that’s kind of shown up.” “With a lot of these young guys, just the terminology, the routes, the coverage, just try to eliminate [the thinking] and allow them to play as fast as possible. In the spring, it’s like, ‘Hey, let’s try to play out of control. Let’s play too fast.’ If you make a mistake, that’s fine, but we’ve got to start training that play speed.” Raridon largely spent his first two years at Notre Dame on the sidelines, nursing two right knee injuries, and had previously torn the same ACL twice. Still, he’s an intriguing prospect for the Patriots due to his ability to be a consistent pass-catcher for quarterback Drake Maye and be a vertical threat. “Eli’s doing a good job,” Hunter Henry said on Tuesday. “I know it’s a lot coming in the league, trying to blend in with older guys, younger guys. The pressure of it, obviously getting drafted. A lot of us have been through it, and I’ve been through it myself. He’s been a sponge, trying to soak up as much as he can in the room, asking questions. He’s getting better day by day, and I’m excited to continue to work with him.” Henry also mentioned Arkin as a young player who’s trying to learn and make the most of his opportunities. “Tanner’s been great,” Henry said. “When he gets his opportunities, he’s taking advantage of it. That’s all you can ask for as a young guy. He’s continued to get better. It’s the same thing: as a rookie, as a young guy, you kind of have to be a sponge, trying to soak up as much as you can, trying to ask questions when you can. But just try to watch and follow and learn as much as you can from just us in the room, [and] some of the other positions.”

Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis gave an update on where things stand with running back Alvin Kamara when he spoke to reporters on Monday and he also touched on the status of a couple of longtime members of the team who remain unsigned for the 2026 season. Defensive end Cam Jordan has talked about leaving the door open to returning to New Orleans for his 16th season and Loomis said the team is also open to a return. He said, via multiple reporters, that there is a contract offer on the table for Jordan. Jordan hasn’t signed that contract, obviously, and that suggests he’s looking for something more from the Saints or someone else before making any commitment for the coming season. While Jordan could be back, it doesn’t look like tight end Taysom Hill will be back in a Saints uniform. Loomis said that there’s no offer out to him and Hill’s emotional words after the final 2025 home game may have been his final ones as a member of the team
