The New Orleans Saints have Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill as options at quarterback as the preseason begins.

Sean Payton is hoping the team's preseason slate will bring some clarity to the competition.

"I'd like to see these guys operate, both of them, in all three of these games," Payton said. "Certainly by the end of the preseason games and possibly maybe before that — a week prior to the last game. But I haven't sat down as a staff and said, 'This is the date.' Hopefully it's something we begin to see a little more clarity on. Both of these guys are working their tail off, they're both well-respected by their teammates, they're really, really good leaders. And that's a good thing."

The Saints will begin preseason play on Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens.
