The New Orleans Saints are adjusting to the absence of Taysom Hill, who has not been re-signed this offseason. Hill's versatility had allowed him to play multiple positions, but his recent injuries and decline in performance made a return risky. The Saints now gain roster flexibility and must fill his role for short-yardage situations. His leadership in the tight end group is also missed, affecting the development of rookie Oscar Delp. Other players, such as Juwan Johnson, may need to step up. The Saints will look to redefine their offensive approach moving forward.
