Saints sign QB Andy Dalton (1 year, up to $6M, $3M gtd)

Way better backup than Taysom Hill… with Hill out of the QB room Dennis Allen doesn’t have to worry about his usage in case he’s needed at QB.

Hill will be better outside the QB room and the QB room will be better with him outside as well.

This ain’t much of an update. Dennis Allen said Taysom “wouldn’t be part of the conversation” at QB a couple weeks ago.

It was assumed he would be more of a RB/H-Back rather than TE. I wonder if they still plan on using him as a ball carrier still or if he’s going to be more of a traditional move TE.

Hope they still let him do his power runs. Outside of his fumbles (not too many last year but my memory aint the best), those designed running plays were situationally effective.

As others have mentioned, this is a solid signing to have Dalton be our backup QB allowing us to get Taysom Hill out of the QB room. For fantasy purposes, I could see Taysom being an interesting option this season if he truly does focus on TE. If he's listed as a TE, but still gets utilized some as a short yardage specialist for us, he could be a sneaky stash...Especially with Kamara facing a potential suspension this season.

Hopefully Dalton has an opportunity to compete for the starting job.  I don’t know how anyone can feel comfortable with Winston as their starting quarterback.

On a side note, why would Hill be moved to tight end and not wide receiver?  Isn’t he faster than most of the receivers in the league; why tight end?

Hopefully for Saints fans sake one of their remaining UFA sign a deal that will qualify for the comp pick formula to get back that 3rd/4th rounder. Losing Terron Armstead and Marcus Williams in FA and not coming away with even 1 comp pick would be a travesty.
