Taysom’s agent has to be loving that tweet.

Glazer is the only person in the sports media that I actually trust the information came from Payton or the Saints.

Me at Sean:

Could they put a clause in his contract that he makes X amount of dollars as long as Brees is playing but it jumps to Z when Brees retires?

Sounds like they expect to lose Bridgewater to Free Agency.

Saints cant keep all three QB's as Brees and Bridgewater will require starters salary and Hill will get a big jump in pay and that's to much money to invest in one position when only one player is under center.

I think it will be Brees and Hill next year with a drafted QB as the #3 guy or we might actually see Brees retire because the Saints plan to move forward with Hill.

I think that's a foregone conclusion unless TB wants to take a massive discount compared to what he could make on the open market. There are some teams with really bad QB's out there.

Payton has said already that if Brees wants to play that he'll be back in 2020. I agree that they'll find another backup for this year so Hill can continue to be the swiss army knife, be it a draft pick or vet minimum backup.

Whenever something like this comes out, AT THIS TIME, I'm always skeptical. Have to wonder about the timing of this and what that means.

I guess SP & Loomis like a QB in the draft.

This sounds more like they're trying to talk Taysom up before they place a first round tender on him. See if they can get anyone to bite.

I’d agree with anyone else.

With Glazer, take it to the bank.

With Glazer, take it to the bank.

Twitter is an agents best friend or worse enemy depending on who your client is...

Taysom is a great gadget player but I’m still skeptical if he can make the leap to full time QB. I mean If Payton sees it and believes it that’s good enough for me. Maybe he is the second coming of Steve Young. But it’s a big leap from doing what he does now to being under center full time.

In before Swimmertarians take this thang over.
