Broncos could reunite Sean Payton with Taysom Hill in 2025

The Denver Broncos may finally have a shot at reuniting Sean Payton with Taysom Hill. The versatile playmaker, long connected to Denver, could become available if the New Orleans Saints cut him this offseason.

With the Broncos in need of offensive weapons, Hill’s unique skill set could make him the perfect fit for Payton’s 2025 game plan.

Taysom Hill could be the missing piece in Sean Payton’s 2025 offense

The Denver Broncos have long been linked to Taysom Hill, the do-it-all weapon who rose to prominence under Sean Payton with the New Orleans Saints. Though Hill has stayed in New Orleans until now, multiple reports suggest he may be on the chopping block this offseason.Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay believes that if Hill is cut, every NFL team should be interested.

The Saints would save $10 million in cap space, and Hill’s reduced role makes his release a realistic possibility.

David Latham of Last Word on Sports believes a Payton-Hill reunion would benefit both parties.“Nobody loves Taysom Hill more than Sean Payton, so it only makes sense these two reunite away from the Saints,” Latham noted. “Payton brought the Broncos to the playoffs despite starting rookie Bo Nix and having limited weapons outside of Courtland Sutton.

Free-agent tight end Evan Engram will lead the passing game, but the team could use someone like Hill to be the TE2 and add an extra dimension as a trick play threat.

"Hill’s true value lies in his versatility—tight end, quarterback, runner, special teams contributor. He excels in short-yardage and red-zone scenarios, with the ability to throw, run, or block depending on the situation. His unpredictability creates constant headaches for opposing defenses.Hill’s best years came with Drew Brees under center, when Payton regularly inserted him into high-impact moments. That formula could be recreated with Bo Nix, giving Denver a proven red-zone and trick-play weapon.Also Read: Steelers acquire DK Metcalf in major NFL trade—Here’s why $132M deal makes senseIf the Saints move on, the Broncos should act fast.
