The New Orleans Saints are signing QB Andy Dalton to a one-year deal.

Dalton will back up Winston. His signing also means the Saints probably see Ian Book as nothing more than a clipboard holder.

Saints HC Dennis Allen told reporters that the plan for Taysom Hill is to play him at tight end.

The re-signing of Jameis Winston was the apparent death blow to Hil's time at quarterback. With Sean Payton no longer in New Orleans, the fetishism of Hill under center appears to be over.

QB Jameis Winston is staying with New Orleans, agreeing to a two-year deal with the Saints.

Hill had to have foot surgery and will now have competition with Winston once again. Winston was more of a game manager with the Saints in 2021, but that could change with Sean Payton no longer coaching.

Sean Payton on Taysom Hill: "He's progressing well. He's on schedule."

We'll assume Payton means Hill is on schedule to pass protocol and also assume if that's the case, Hill will start for the Saints with Winston now done for the season. There are a lot of ifs here, and if Hill has a setback or isn't on schedule to play in Week 9, Siemian will likely get the nod. We'll continue to monitor but at least for now, Hill looks to be the assumed starter once he's cleared. As we know from the past, Hill under center potentially means big downgrades for those around him thanks to his rushing ability, perhaps especially Kamara.

Taysom Hill was 3-1 as a replacement for Drew Brees last season and finished runner-up to Winston in an open competition for the job over the summer.

Unfortunately, Hill has been sidelined since Week 5 with a concussion. But assuming he returns to practice in the next week or two, he's the most likely long-term option for New Orleans.

Hill is still recovering from a concussion and his status for Week 9 is not certain. We did have a report earlier Monday that said Hill is expected to practice this week but will still need to be cleared. If Hill can't go, Siemian likely gets the start against the Falcons.

QB Jameis Winston does, in fact, have a torn ACL, source said after the MRI. He is out for the season. There is also damage to the MCL.

This was expected all along after Winston went down on Sunday against the Bucs. Reports on Monday say Hill is expected to return to the team in Week 9 after dealing with a concussion. One would think Hill takes over as the starter but Siemian played well filling in for Winston and leading the Saints to a win. We'll know more as the week goes on. Fortunately, the Saints play an early game in Week 9 at home against the Falcons.

The Saints have Taysom Hill, who has missed multiple games with a concussion. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Hill is expected to return to action next weekend, against the Falcons. They also have Trevor Siemian, who played well enough to beat Tom Brady today, and Ian Book.

The story was mainly about whether or not the Saints would consider calling Cam Newton with Winston likely out for the year. The key thing to take away for now is Hill is expected to return next week, and at the moment seems like the logical choice to start at QB. Kamara owners should take note. Kamara's had a huge workload over the last few weeks and Hill, in the past, has dipped into that.

Saints HC Sean Payton said QB Jameis Winston’s knee injury is “significant”

Winston was carted off during Sunday’s win against the Buccaneers and Trevor Siemian took over with Taysom Hill inactive. NFL Network’s Jane Slater recently reported she is hearing it’s an ACL injury, which would end Winston’s season. Very unfortunate for Winston who was trying to build his value back up and earn himself a nice contract next season. Now he’ll be coming off what looks to be a very serious injury. For now, perhaps expect either Siemian or going back to Hill for the time being. The Saints are 5-2 and just a half-game behind Tampa Bay in the NFC South.

Saints QB Jameis Winston was helped off the field after taking an awkward fall against the Buccaneers.

Trevor Siemian is now in at quarterback. Winston was 6/10 for 56 yards and a touchdown before exiting. Hopefully it’s not too bad of an injury. It will be interesting to see the offense under Siemian. Taysom Hill is inactive today.

The New Orleans Saints have named Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Winston won the job after a strong performance this past Monday during the Saints' preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Winston is John Paulsen's QB29 at the moment. His passing floor and ceiling were always higher than Hill's, but the role Hill plays in the Saints offense still makes him a potential streamer in Superflex and 2QB leagues.
