2026 Outlook
Veteran multi-position Swiss Army knife entering free agency after nine seasons with the Saints. Hill declined to sign a 2026 contract with New Orleans, where he'd been the only NFL organization to employ him. At 35, Hill achieved a historic 2025 season: became the first player in NFL's Super Bowl era (1967–present) to record 1,000 yards rushing, 1,000 yards receiving, AND 1,000 yards passing in a single season. A unique skill set in goal-line and short-yardage scenarios, Hill's versatility continues to attract interest from teams seeking dynamic offensive weapons. Loosely linked to Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills during 2026 offseason exploration (per Local players in the NFL and where they'll be playing this year).
Role / Depth Chart
As an unrestricted free agent, Hill's 2026 role depends on his landing spot. Historically used in short-yardage, goal-line, and trick-play scenarios where his multi-position eligibility unlocked creative offensive design. At 35, likely to remain a depth/specialty contributor rather than featured player.
Injury Status
No significant injuries reported. Continuing to participate in offseason conditioning at age 35.
