Saints ink TE Josh Hill to three-year, $8.85 million contract extension

The Saints have signed tight end Josh Hill to a contract extension.

The 28-year old has signed a three-year extension worth $8.85 million through the 2021 season, ESPN’s Field Yates first reported.

Hill’s last contract came when the Saints matched a $7.1 million offer sheet he signed with the Bears in 2016.

This past season, Hill caught 16 passes for 185 yards with one touchdown while also serving as a reliable blocker and special teams contributor.
