ImpactIf he's not cut before the deal expires, Hill will remain on the Saints' books through his age-35 season in 2025 and earn anywhere from $40 to $95 million, depending on what position he plays. If he continues to serve in his current hybrid role on offense while also contributing on special teams, he'll earn around $10 million annually, while he would reach the upper range of the extension if he eventually emerges as the team's starting quarterback at any point in the next four seasons. Given that he was beaten out by Jameis Winston for the starting role in the preseason and has backed up journeyman Trevor Siemian in the last three games following Winston's season-ending injury, Hill seems more likely to remain in his current gadget role. Even with Siemian turning the ball over twice in the Saints' Week 11 loss to the Eagles and completing just 55 percent of his passes, Hill didn't see any work on offense.
