Saints officially tender restricted free agent Taysom Hill

The New Orleans Saints formally placed a first-round tender on restricted free agent quarterback Taysom Hill on Wednesday, as reported by Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football.
Hill is now expected to play the 2020 season on a one-year, fully-guaranteed contract valued at around $4.641 million, per Over The Cap.
Additionally, other NFL teams can now sign Hill to an offer sheet, which the Saints can opt to match dollar for dollar.
If he’s going to spend more time practicing as a traditional quarterback, we might see less of Hill on special teams, which is a shame given the highlight reel he’s built in that area of the game

Saints renegotiate contracts with Kiko Alonso and Patrick Robinson

The Saints approached two projected starters, linebacker Kiko Alsono and cornerback Patrick Robinson, to adjust their contracts.
And more moves could be on the way as the Saints look to create additional salary cap space.
They have agreed to terms on contract extensions with veterans like Drew Brees, David Onyemata, and Zach Wood, but will need more resources to re-sign other free agents

Drew Brees agrees with Saints on contract extension through 2021

The biggest domino of the Saints offseason has fallen. Drew Brees and the Saints have agreed on a two-year, $50 million contract extension.
Like his previous contract, Brees is taking this one year-to-year to with the Saints, meaning that the team will not be shackled to an aging quarterback.
Brees could have easily earned $30 million or more per year on the open market, but his decision to settle for just $25 million in annual salary presents something of a discount for the Saints.
The 41-year-old started 11 games for the Saints in 2019. The 13-time Pro Bowler completed 74.3% of his passes for 2,979 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions
