The Taysom Hill deal was for 21 million dollars!

No. It says its a $21 million deal with $16 million guaranteed and another $1 million in incentives. The "another $1 million" refers to in addition to the $16 million guaranteed, not to the $21 million. Anyway, this is silly and doesn't really matter. He costs what he costs. We have the money and we are a better team with him this year than without him. And if he costs $16 million next year, that may be high for an unproven starting QB, but it's only for one year and it leaves the Saints options wide open after that.

This should clear it up and it sounds like he actually signed his tender offer as is and then they negotiated a 1 year extension for 2021 at $16,300,000. ($16 mill guaranteed) This ladies and gentlemen is a legitimate starter's salary.
