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."
  • Hill previously played under Payton on the New Orleans Saints from 2017 to 2021, earning the nickname "Human Swiss Army Knife" for his versatility. The playmaker announced Wednesday he would not return for a 10th season.
  • In 2025, Hill became the first player in the Super Bowl era to record 1,000 career rushing, passing, and receiving yards. Payton stated the team will assess Hill's recovery from a 2024 knee reconstruction.
  • With $29.5 million in cap room, the Broncos could offer a short-term deal to add an offensive wrinkle. Adding Hill could support quarterback Bo Nix by serving as a runner in short-yardage situations.
  • 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.
