The Facts: The Saints are putting there money where their mouth is: They’re planning to place first-round tender on restricted FA QB Hill a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diehards Line:
The first-round tender means New Orleans will have a chance to match any offer sheet Hill signs with another team or get back a first-round pick. For what it's worth, the first-round tender for RFA QBs is expected to come in around $5 million for 2020. But the Saints believe they’ll have a deal done with Hill before free agency, when another team can sign him to an offer sheet.
