What It Means:

The tender is worth $4.66 million. Hill can still negotiate with other teams, but the Saints have a right to match. If they don’t, they will be compensated with a first-round pick, but Hill is all but guaranteed to be back in New Orleans next season. Teddy Bridgewater is expected to leave in free agency, so Hill could open 2020 as the Saints' QB2 if they don't bring in any competition. The gadget player, who turns 30 in August, has 13 career pass attempts.

Hill racked up 7 touchdowns on just 27 rush attempts and 19 receptions last season. His 55.6 success rate as a rusher was first on the team among all players with at least 10 rushes.
