Payton said the Broncos will explore a reunion with Hill, who could be available on a 1-year, $3 million deal with incentives.
- On Saturday, August 1, 2026, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton confirmed the team will explore signing free agent Taysom Hill. Payton told NFL Network, "I think we would definitely look closely at, where's he at."

- Payton plans to see the 36-year-old Hill at Drew Brees' Hall of Fame enshrinement this coming week. The coach noted he would only pursue a reunion if the circumstances are right.
