  "account": "Denver Broncos are considering signing free agent tight end Taysom Hill, a former player under Sean Payton with the New Orleans Saints. Hill, 35, has a versatile skill set and has been an active contributor to the Saints' offense as a runner, receiver, and thrower. His 2,426 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, 2,551 rushing yards, and 34 touchdowns demonstrate his value as an adaptable offensive player. The Broncos, led by head coach Sean Payton, are exploring Hill's potential addition to their roster to bolster their backup quarterback situation, which currently includes Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger. Taysom Hill has confirmed he will not play for the Saints this season, leaving open the possibility of joining another NFL team, including the Broncos. The decision to sign Hill will be made as training camp begins.",
