Taysom Hill out for the season with torn ACL-additional damage per Rapoport [Hill placed on Injured Reserve on 12/6/24]

Insane the Injuries he has come back from, especially if you recall his multiple season ending knee and leg injuries at BYU.

I could see Taysom fighting back and returning but I think his wife will convince him to retire. He's got a unique NFL legacy, with us and certainly around the league. The next guys who do it like he did will be referred to as the next Taysom Hill.

New problem... Salary cap. Those of you who know the nuances of the cap, I'm curious. Taysom's 2025 numbers:

2025 Cap Hit: $18M
2025 Dead Money pre-June 1 cut: $18M
2025 Dead Money post-June 1 cut: $8M ($10M "savings" with the elimination of the cap hit.)

Mickey has really created rocks and hard places with the injury to this latest high-priced vet. Not sure how an injury settlement with a vested vet works or it is even relevant.

It seems like you have to cut Taysom post-June 1 to get the cap savings, but still have Taysom's $17M on the roster and cap between March and June. I see a post June 1 cut, then we'll add Taysom to the dead money pile:

Latt $31M
MT $9.2M
Jameis $7.3M
Taysom $9.1M

I think Taysom's Saints career is over, for both health and business reasons.

Hail the hero, even if you see him back running at next mini-camp.
