Report: Saints Owner Gayle Benson Declares Derek Carr and Taysom Hill as Franchise Cornerstones

In a bold and defining moment for the New Orleans Saints, team owner Gayle Benson has reportedly made a strong public statement naming quarterback Derek Carr and tight end Taysom Hill as the franchise’s foundational players moving forward.

 

According to sources close to the organization, Benson expressed unwavering confidence in both Carr and Hill, describing them as “leaders on and off the field” and key pieces to the Saints’ future success. The endorsement comes as the team continues to retool its roster and establish a new identity in the post-Drew Brees era.

 

Derek Carr, who joined the Saints last season after a lengthy tenure with the Las Vegas Raiders, has shown flashes of high-level play, bringing veteran experience and poise to the quarterback position. His ability to command the offense and connect with the team’s receiving corps has positioned him as a long-term answer under center.

 

Meanwhile, Taysom Hill continues to be the Saints’ ultimate Swiss Army knife — playing tight end, quarterback, special teams, and occasionally running back. His versatility, toughness, and leadership have made him a fan favorite and a locker room cornerstone. Hill’s impact on both offense and special teams has proven invaluable, and Benson’s comments seem to confirm his long-term role in the organization.

 

This public vote of confidence from ownership suggests the Saints are doubling down on their current core and looking to build a sustainable contender around them. With free agency and the draft behind them, all eyes will be on how the Saints continue to develop their offensive identity with Carr and Hill at the center.
