More QBs are having immediate NFL success within their first two years in the league than ever before, and Sean "QB guru" Payton is attached to THIS dweeb for the future?
Regardless of whether or not Hill sees a dime of that new money, it implies that the Saints aren't paying that much for Hill to continue as a glorified H-back and backup-- he's either going to continue with the team as a starter or they're going to void the entire thing and let him go.
The #Ravens have made their first move in free agency, agreeing to terms with ex-#Giants guard Kevin Zeitler on a 3-year deal worth $22M including $16M fully guaranteed, source said. One of the top interior O-linemen available, Baltimore quickly pounced when Zeitler became free. [Reply]
