stevegrab Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Can anybody make sense of Hills guaranteed money from this contract? Is it really that full 21.5M, or is more like 10M? https://overthecap.com/player/taysom-hill/6047/ https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/taysom-hill-22021/ Both show 10.1M guaranteed at signing, but show 21.5M as total guaranteed. Presumably that means about 10M of the total was not guaranteed at signing, but kicked in at some other time (which may have passed), Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the value in that is the fact that he plays and is very proficient at 6 different positions; TE, WR, RB, FB, ST & QB. Edit: This video breaks it down pretty well with exception to discussing the voidable years. Edited January 27, 2022 by rajncajn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a great player and worth the pay, but I think I'd prefer the Saints to move away from trying to let him play starting QB because he could get on the field more that way. That said, I think he's also shown flashes at QB. I just don't trust him to stay healthy, especially given a big part of his success is running the ball and being physical doing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not serious are you? He's a nice little gimmick type player who really doesn't have a true fit. He should thank God everytime he checks his bank statement.

Taysom is a backup QB at best. C'mon Rajn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty easy to figure out what I feel about him as a player & if you think I'm trying to compare him with a Brady, Mahommes or Rodgers, or anything close for that matter, then you're not paying any attention whatsoever and just looking to argue for the sake of arguing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Looking down the road... IF Payton decides to come back to coaching next year and wants to sign with another team, what do you think the compensation would be? The Raiders got two first-round picks, two second-round picks and $8 million for Gruden & Payton is way better than Gruden. The Jets got a 1st, 4th & 7th in exchange for a 5th & 7th, but Belichick obviously was mostly an unknown commodity at the time as a head coach other than a stint with the Browns that ended in utter failure.

rajncajn Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I just read another interesting tidbit regarding Payton's contract. The Saints don't just own his rights for the next three years, they own his rights for the next three coaching years. So, it doesn't matter if he sits out 5 years, a team would still have to trade with the Saints for his rights. Disclaimer: I don't know if that's actually true or not, I just saw it posted on the Saints board by a few people. I haven't been able to find any confirmation on that.

I can see how as a fan of one of the teams, you'd think he's the cat's meow but really he's an excellent coach who had a HOF QB who retired. Gruden on the OTH made a journeyman QB into a SB winner. Payton rode Brees to SB and quit after Drew left. More I think about it, they aren't even in the same class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
