Ian Rapoport: Saints to make a decision on Taysom Hill; hard to imagine Hill returning [T.Hill is turning 35 w/ 18M cap hit & ACL recovery]

Well, we wouldn't be paying him $17m in actual money. We'd be taking his dead money cap hit from past prorated roster bonuses on this years cap. And that removes $9.2m from next years cap. So if he isn't going to play anyway and you don't get a discount, it's better for next season to cut him this season.

I know where not paying him $17m but it's still $17m in dead money.

Let's move pass the dead money issues and talk about the second option that I have mentioned several times. Which would be a restructure and pay cut.

Like I said in my previous post, you never mentioned cutting Hill in your big 2025 cap thread, but instead mentioned a pay cut, which is in fact what I am saying I think they should do.

So have you changed your position since then and now they they should cut Hill, or do you belive like me that a pay cut is still the more likely outcome.
