TAYSOM HILL NEWS

Future in New Orleans uncertain? The roster status Hill (knee), who is recovering from a left ACL tear and carries nearly an $18 million cap hit for the 2025 season, ranks high among the difficult offseason decisi...

Impact Ian Rapoport of NFL Network speculated Wednesday that the Saints "have a decision coming" this offseason on Hill, saying it's "hard to imagine he'd be back in New Orleans, but [...] anything is possible." Hill, who is now heading into his age-35 season, faces a recovery timetable of at least nine months after undergoing surgery to repair his torn left ACL in December, making him a likely candidate to miss at least part of the 2025 campaign. Of Hill's cap hit for 2025, Ross Jackson of Louisiana Sports reports that the $10 million base salary is not guaranteed, leaving New Orleans a direct avenue to potentially restructure his deal. Jackson also notes that Hill has been linked to retirement rumors.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • NEWORLEANSSAINTS.COM

Placed on IR The Saints placed Hill (knee) on injured reserve Friday.

Impact A torn ACL suffered Week 13 rules Hill out for the rest of the season and makes him uncertain for Week 1 of 2025. He'll be 35 years old at that point, and it's not entirely clear he'll still be with the Saints. In the meantime, Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau figure to get snaps/targets as a result of Hill's injury.

Suffers season-ending ACL tear Hill was diagnosed with a season-ending ACL tear as well as additional damage to his left knee after undergoing further testing following Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams, Ian Rapop...

Impact The setback is a devastating one for Hill, who was just two weeks removed from delivering one of the fantasy performances of the season, when he accounted for three touchdowns, eight receptions, 188 yards from scrimmage and 18 passing yards in a Nov. 17 win over the Browns. Though he had been filling a variety of functions in the New Orleans offense in addition to contributing on special teams, Hill had tight-end eligibility in most fantasy leagues, where his involvement as a rusher in recent weeks had made him a high-ceiling lineup option. Now set to turn 35 years old in August and coming off a major injury that could affect his readiness for the 2025 season, Hill is facing a murky outlook moving forward. He's still on the Saints' books through next season after signing a four-year, $40 million extension in November 2021, though the 2025 portion of his deal contains no guarantees and could put him at risk of being cut.

Tests confirm season-ending injury Hill is on track to miss the remainder of the season after tests Monday confirmed that he sustained a significant left knee injury in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams, Adam Schefter...

Impact Though a precise diagnosis of the injury likely won't be provided until interim head coach Darren Rizzi addresses the media, Hill's knee issue is apparent severe enough to sideline him for the final five games of the regular season and any potential playoff run that might follow. The 34-year-old Hill suffered four season-ending injuries during his collegiate career, but he's mostly been able to avoid extended absences since entering the professional ranks as an undrafted free agent in 2017. Hill had proven to be a versatile weapon for the Saints this season, contributing on special teams while also handling a variety of assignments on offense. He'll conclude the 2024 campaign with 278 rushing yards, 187 receiving yards on 23 catches and two completions for 21 passing yards while scoring six touchdowns over his eight appearances.
