Taysom Hill exit and Broncos interest

Overview

On July 30, 2026, Taysom Hill announced via social media that he would not return to the New Orleans Saints, ending his nine‑year tenure and entering free agency. He thanked the organization and left his future open.

Two days later, reports noted that former Saints head coach Sean Payton, now the Denver Broncos’ head coach, was interested in adding Hill to Denver. The Broncos view Hill’s versatility—able to line up as quarterback, running back or tight end—as a way to bolster the offense and support quarterback Bo Nix, who is recovering from ankle surgery.

Further coverage on August 1 confirmed the Broncos are actively exploring a signing. Hill’s career totals include 2,426 passing yards, 2,551 rushing yards, 1,034 receiving yards and 57 touchdowns, and he remains the only player in the Super Bowl era to record 1,000 yards in passing, rushing and receiving in a single season. The team sees his multi‑position skill set as a potential complement to both Nix and starter Jarrett Stidham, while also offering a possible reunion with Payton.
