It&#8217;s been really special,&#8221; Hill said. &#8220;So I wouldn&#8217;t want to play somewhere else, but there&#8217;s a lot of circumstances that are out of your control too, right? And I understand the nature of this business and I&#8217;m not thinking that way right now, but we&#8217;ll tackle that when we get there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hill didn&#8217;t have a massive year from a statistical point of view, but if he wants to play and the price is right, there isn&#8217;t another player out there that does what he does. Plus, he&#8217;ll be another year removed from his season-ending ACL injury that ended his 2024 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Arguably, the Saints should run it back with Hill. Jordan and Davis should be back too, for that matter. The Saints are loaded with young guys and very well could make some noise next season. Jordan and Davis both had big years and Hill is still Hill. Give them another run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s going to be an exciting offseason for the New Orleans Saints, but who will return?
