Hill was not re-signed by the New Orleans Saints this offseason after nine years with the team, including five seasons when Payton was the Saints' head coach; Hill did not rule out signing with another team in a social media post last week when he thanked the Saints and the team's fans for his time in New Orleans, saying 'I still don't have a clear answer about what the future holds, but I know that returning to New Orleans is not in the cards'; Sean Payton said he will soon speak to Hill to gauge Hill's interest in continuing his playing career and will see him in Canton, Ohio, this coming weekend when many past and present Saints players and coaches will attend the events for Drew Brees' induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Hill is a multitasker free agent who will turn 36 later this month; he caught 11 passes, rushed for 114 yards on 52 carries and threw one touchdown pass last season; he is one of four NFL players to have at least 10 career touchdowns rushing, receiving and passing, and when he reached that milestone in 2023, he was the first player to have done it since Hall of Famer Frank Gifford in 1957; Payton has often lauded Hill's versatility and the role Hill carved out since Payton's Saints claimed him off waivers from the Green Bay Packers in 2017.

Denver is exploring reuniting Sean Payton and Hill for the 'Joker' role—a multi-position player who can handle multiple roles within the Broncos' offense. Hill is the only NFL player ever to have 1,000 passing, rushing and receiving yards, making him an intriguing fit for Payton's scheme. However, the source notes this may be another lackluster reunion and cautions that Hill is far removed from the days when his positional eligibility was genuinely ambiguous for fantasy purposes.

Taysom Hill, age 35 entering free agency after nine seasons with the Saints, is being explored by Broncos head coach Sean Payton as a potential reunion target. Hill is a true multi-positional player—the only player in the Super Bowl era with 1,000 passing, receiving, and rushing yards—bringing unique versatility to an offense. His tenure with New Orleans ended last season, with an emotional press conference after the team's final home game, and he officially announced his departure just days before Payton began evaluating him for Denver.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is exploring signing free agent Taysom Hill, who recently left the Saints as a free agent. Hill, now 36 years old, could provide depth at tight end and serve as a goal-line option at fullback, tight end, running back, or even quarterback. The move depends on whether Hill wants to continue playing after dealing with injuries in recent seasons; if he does, the Broncos' suspect tight end depth (with Adam Trautman as likely starter and Evan Engram as main receiving threat) makes Hill a potential fit for added positional versatility.
