Sean Payton explores a reunion with Taysom Hill in Denver
ATLANTA, GA - NOVEMBER 28: New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton talks to New Orleans Saints Quarterback Taysom Hill (7) during warmups before the NFL game between the New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons on November 28, 2019, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA.

So it shouldn't be a surprise too many to hear Payton, now in his fourth season as Broncos head coach, tell NFL Network on Saturday that the team would explore bringing Hill to Denver.

Hill is a true Swiss army knife; the only player in the Super Bowl era with 1,000 passing, receiving, and rushing yards.
His nine-year tenure with the black and gold came to an end last season, with an emotional press conference after the team's final home game marking what many felt had been coming with the 35-year-old in the last year of his contract. However, he only officially announced his departure from New Orleans just days ago.

And with that, his former head coach has wasted no time in starting to evaluate the possibility of a reunion in the Mile High.
Hill wouldn't be the first of Payton's former players to make the switch from New Orleans to Denver; a laundry list of coaching and playing personnel have also reunited with him over the last few years.
What do you make of Hill's potential fit with the Broncos and can he still produce as he turns 36 later this month?
