The Facts:
Hilton, who emerged in 2005 as the Saints' top receiving threat at tight end, has re-signed with the team for another season. Hilton signed the one-year restricted free agent qualifying offer worth $721,600. Unless he signs an extension, Hilton will be eligible for unrestricted free agency next spring.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The 6-8 Hilton emerged as a reliable receiver last season, catching 35 passes for 396 yards and one touchdown. He played in 15 games and started eight, replacing Ernie Conwell in the lineup after the veteran was lost to a knee injury, and became a key target. ... He'll compete with Shad Meier and Mark Campbell for snaps behind Conwell this summer -- as long as Conwell remains healthy.
