Jordan has made multiple comments about how he would like to be back, but he&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/saints\/onsi\/saints-news\/saints-fallout-after-cam-jordan-s-free-agency-comments-pat3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">looking for a certain value and role<\/a>.

At the end of the day, Jordan&#8217;s free agency stint has been very public and has shown no signs of slowing down. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6m\">One guy who hasn&#8217;t been publicly talked about a lot is fellow longtime franchise star Taysom Hill. <\/p>\n<p>The Saints need to do everything to bring back Taysom Hill<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01knj8z2jgkgddqkvkbm.jpg\" alt=\"New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill\" title=\"New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill\" width=\"8256\" height=\"4644\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"6z\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Dec 28, 2025; Nashville, Tennessee, USA;  New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (7) and defensive tackle John Ridgeway III (95) celebrate the win against the Tennessee Titans during post game at Nissan Stadium.

Hill has spent his entire nine-year career in the NFL as a member of the Saints. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/saints\/onsi\/saints-news\/taysom-hill-takes-firm-stance-on-saints-future-pat3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Back in December<\/a>, he made it clear that he would like to stick around in New Orleans. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"76\">&#8220;I have so much love for the city of New Orleans and this fan base and the way that they&#8217;ve embraced me and my family. It&#8217;s been really special,&#8221; Hill said in December. &#8220;So I wouldn&#8217;t want to play somewhere else, but there&#8217;s a lot of circumstances that are out of your control too, right? And I understand the nature of this business and I&#8217;m not thinking that way right now, but we&#8217;ll tackle that when we get there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"79\">But, like Jordan, Hill is still out there in free agency. Arguably, the Saints should try to bring both of these guys back.\u00a0Of the two, it may be easier to retain Hill. Or, at the very least, cheaper. Right now, Spotrac has Hill&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotrac.com\/nfl\/player\/market-value\/_\/id\/22021\/taysom-hill\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">projected market value at just over $2.1 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7c\">He didn&#8217;t have a great 2025 season. In 2024, he was only able to play in eight games before his season was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/report-tests-confirm-taysom-hill-suffered-season-ending-knee-injury#:~:text=What%20the%20Saints%20initially%20feared,is%20under%20contract%20through%202025.&amp;text=Big%20Shield%20combines%20gambling%2C%20pro,that%20come%20from%20selling%20it.&amp;text=Watch%20PFT%20Live%20with%20Mike,the%20NBC%20Sports%20NOW%20channel.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">cut short due to a knee injury<\/a>. It delayed his start to the 2025 season as well. Hill only played in 13 games in 2025 and had 114 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, 91 receiving yards, 57 passing yards and one passing touchdown.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-blue my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7f\">It wasn&#8217;t an explosive season for Hill, by any means, but he is now another year removed from the knee injury that ended his 2024 season. If he wants to play another year and the price tag is near the Spotrac projection, the Saints should be all over a deal with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot said about the New Orleans Saints and longtime&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":858526,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2076],"tags":[7,896,55,2572,2571,6,397],"class_list":{"0":"post-858525","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-orleans-saints","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-new-orleans","10":"tag-new-orleans-saints","11":"tag-neworleans","12":"tag-neworleanssaints","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-saints"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116362528890060573","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=858525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/858525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/858526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=858525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=858525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=858525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
