Taysom Hill’s Bold Statement: “I’m Ready to Dominate and Prove Them Wrong”
Taysom Hill isn’t just coming back from injury—he’s coming back to take control. After the New Orleans Saints restructured his contract before the 2025 season, the versatile veteran sent a clear message to both his team and the NFL: he’s far from finished.
“They thought I was done? Think again. This restructure isn’t just about the money—it’s a statement,” Hill declared with unshakable confidence. “I’m not just coming back from injury, I’m coming back to dominate. If they think they can count me out, I’m about to show them just how dangerous I still am. The Saints don’t just need me—they depend on me. I’m ready to break through, rewrite the playbook, and remind everyone why they call me the most unpredictable player in football.”
The 35-year-old Hill is coming off a torn ACL that cut his 2024 season short, and while he’s starting the 2025 season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, his statement speaks volumes. The restructure of his contract, which converted $6 million of his 2025 salary into per-game roster bonuses, has only further fueled Hill’s fire. With the potential to earn $500,000 per game for up to 12 games, the message is clear: Hill is all-in for the upcoming season.
Restructured Deal Reflects Confidence
The Saints’ decision to restructure Hill’s deal reflects their ongoing confidence in his abilities, even as they navigate an already tight salary cap. With $3.6 million saved, the Saints are giving Hill a chance to prove that he’s not only healthy but still capable of being a dynamic force on offense. Though the deal still voids after the 2025 season, Hill’s attitude suggests he’s ready to push himself beyond the limits, determined to make this year one to remember.
A New Chapter: Hill’s Unpredictable Role
Hill has long been known as a gadget player—someone capable of changing the course of a game in numerous ways. Whether it’s running the football, catching passes, or even throwing a few trick plays, Hill has become an indispensable asset for the Saints. Now, with a potential leadership vacuum following the departure of other key players, Hill’s multifaceted skill set and leadership could be just what New Orleans needs to rise from their recent struggles.
Despite his age and injury history, Hill’s message makes it clear that he's not thinking about retirement any time soon. In fact, the Saints may have just gotten the perfect motivation from their longtime utility player. As the season progresses, Hill will have the opportunity to prove that he's not just the past—it’s clear he believes he's still very much part of the future.
The Road Ahead: More Than Just a Comeback
For Hill, it’s not just about making a return to the field; it’s about dominating every aspect of the game and silencing any doubters. The restructured deal provides him with the chance to play out a key role in the Saints' offense, especially with potential changes in their offensive strategy. If Hill can deliver on his promises, the Saints may find themselves with a player who can help them find consistency and push for the postseason.
Whether it’s in a traditional role or through his ever-evolving skill set, Taysom Hill is making it clear: he's here to dominate—and the NFL better take notice. The 2025 season could very well be Hill’s most impactful yet, as he seeks to prove that he’s not just another aging player, but one who is capable of rewriting the game.

Peyton Manning Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Late Jim Irsay on ManningCast: ‘The Owner Every Player Would Want’
During an emotional moment on ManningCast, Peyton Manning paid a heartfelt tribute to the late Jim Irsay, the legendary owner of the Indianapolis Colts. This tribute came after Irsay was posthumously inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor during the 2025 season opener.
“We lost Jim in May, and Eli, he was the kind of owner every player would want to play for,” Peyton shared with his brother Eli Manning. “His office was at the practice facility, he was out there at practice every day, in the locker room after every game—home or away, win or loss—the answer was always ‘Yes’ if it helped the Colts win.”
Peyton continued, “It was an honor to play for him, and a great ceremony yesterday in Indianapolis, putting Jim Irsay in the rightful place in the Colts’ Ring of Honor.”
The news of Irsay’s passing in May deeply affected Manning, who posted on social media expressing his sorrow. Manning described Irsay as an “incredibly generous and passionate” owner and promised his “legacy will not be forgotten.”
“I am heartbroken to hear about Jim Irsay’s passing,” Manning wrote. “He was an incredibly generous and passionate owner, and I will always be indebted to him for giving me my start in the NFL. His love for the Colts and the city of Indianapolis was unmatched. His impact on the players who played for him will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and everyone in the Colts community. He will be missed. Jim, rest in peace my friend.”
Irsay passed away on May 21, 2025, at the age of 65, peacefully in his sleep at his Beverly Hills home. He was inducted into the Colts Ring of Honor during the 2025 season opener, facing the Miami Dolphins on September 7, a fitting tribute to his contributions to the franchise and the city of Indianapolis.
Manning’s tribute not only honors Irsay as an owner but also reflects the deep, personal bond between the two, emphasizing Irsay’s lasting legacy with the Colts and the players who had the privilege of playing under his leadership.
