IT IS DONE: New Orleans Saints Star Taysom Hill Stuns Fans and Leaves Head Coach Kellen Moore Speechless with Major Announcement Concerning His Future
In a moment that sent shockwaves through the New Orleans Saints organization and across the NFL landscape, fan-favorite and versatile offensive weapon Taysom Hill has officially announced a major decision regarding his future with the team—and the sport. Hill, known for his rare combination of skills as a quarterback, tight end, special teams player, and all-around Swiss Army knife, delivered the news at a surprise press conference held Thursday afternoon at the Saints’ facility in Metairie, Louisiana.
Standing behind the podium in front of a packed media room, Hill paused before uttering the words no one saw coming:
“It’s done. I’ve decided that the 2025 NFL season will be my final one.”
The announcement was met with audible gasps from reporters, team staff, and even some teammates watching live via the team’s internal broadcast. Most stunned of all was Saints head coach Kellen Moore, who reportedly learned about Hill’s decision just moments before the press conference.
“I’m still processing it,” Moore said later. “Taysom is one of the most unique players I’ve ever coached or even watched. He’s the type of guy who changes how you game plan—not just week to week, but quarter to quarter. He’s irreplaceable.”
A Legacy Built on Grit, Versatility, and Faith
At 34, Taysom Hill’s NFL journey has already become the stuff of legend. Undrafted out of BYU in 2017, Hill fought through numerous injuries in college and clung to a slim chance of carving out an NFL career. The Saints, led then by Sean Payton, took a flier on the athletic quarterback, and what followed was one of the most unconventional and inspiring careers in modern football history.
Over his eight seasons in New Orleans, Hill played nearly every position on offense and special teams. He threw touchdowns, caught them, and ran them in. He blocked punts and tackled returners. He was a quarterback, a tight end, a running back, a gunner, and at times, a game-changer.
In 2020, Hill famously started four games at quarterback while Drew Brees was sidelined and led the team to a 3–1 record. That stretch ignited debates around the league about Hill’s potential as a full-time QB, but he continued to embrace whatever role the Saints needed him to play.
“I’ve always just wanted to help this team win,” Hill said Thursday. “Whether it was throwing passes or blocking on kick returns, I found joy in every snap.”
Why Now?
Hill explained that the decision to step away came after months of personal reflection, prayer, and conversations with his wife, Emily.
“My body still feels good, and I know I could play another few seasons,” he said. “But I’ve always said that I want to leave this game on my terms, with my health, and with no regrets. I’ve felt a pull toward new challenges, both personally and spiritually, and I think now is the right time.”
Sources close to Hill say he’s expressed interest in coaching, broadcasting, and philanthropic work. His strong Christian faith may also lead him into full-time ministry or leadership within charitable organizations.
What It Means for the Saints
For Kellen Moore and the Saints organization, Hill’s impending departure leaves a massive hole—not just on the field, but in the locker room. His leadership, selflessness, and relentless work ethic have served as a cultural cornerstone.
“Taysom represents everything we want in a Saint,” said Saints GM Mickey Loomis. “He’s been a glue guy and a spark plug. It’s going to be hard to imagine the Superdome without No. 7 out there doing something incredible.”
Moore, in his first season as Saints head coach, had already begun drawing up creative ways to integrate Hill into more offensive packages. That process, he says, will continue.
“He’s still got one more ride,” Moore said. “And we’re going to make the most of it.”
Fan Reaction: Shock and Celebration
Saints fans flooded social media with a mix of disbelief, gratitude, and emotion. The hashtag #ThankYouTaysom began trending within an hour of the announcement, with highlights of Hill’s most memorable plays circulating widely.
“I’m crushed,” one fan tweeted. “Taysom Hill isn’t just a player. He’s a spirit, a symbol of fight and faith. There’ll never be another like him.”
Others praised his decision to go out on his own terms, lauding his character as much as his on-field accomplishments.
The Final Chapter
Hill made it clear that he isn’t coasting into retirement. Instead, he views the upcoming season as his opportunity to give Saints fans one last memorable chapter.
“I’ve still got work to do,” he said, smiling. “I want to leave it all out there and help bring another championship to this city. That’s my goal. And I believe we’ve got the team to do it.”
While his exact role this season remains to be determined, one thing is certain: Every time Hill steps onto the field in 2025, it will be must-watch football. Whether it’s throwing a touchdown pass, hurdling a linebacker, or laying out on special teams, fans will savor every moment—knowing it’s the last ride of one of the most extraordinary careers in recent NFL history.
IT IS DONE. But the legend of Taysom Hill is far from over.
