Brian Hoyer News
The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent quarterback Brian Hoyer to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to the team. Hoyer spent the last three seasons serving as a backup with the New England Patriots, but he'll now reunite with his former offensive coordinator in Josh McDaniels, who is Vegas' head coach. The 37-year-old is entering his 15th NFL season and is more of a coach than a player at this point in his career. Hoyer had three stints with the Patriots and has completed 59.4 percent of his 1,518 career attempts for 10,668 yards, 53 touchdowns and 35 interceptions in 76 career games (40 starts). As things currently stand, Hoyer is set to back up starter Jimmy Garoppolo in 2023.
According to Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio, the Patriots are expected to part ways with quarterback Brian Hoyer. The veteran is entering the second of a two-year, $4 million contract. While cutting him will cost $1.64 million against the salary cap, New England is confident in the duo of Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe, although who will start in 2023-24 is seemingly up in the air. Hoyer has had three stints with the Patriots during his career while also suiting up for six other clubs, amassing 10,668 yards, 53 touchdowns, and 35 picks. Nevertheless, the 37-year-old is a competent backup, so he'll likely find work, assuming he doesn't retire. However, he's nowhere near a viable fantasy option, regardless of where he ends up.
New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer (concussion) has been placed on the injured reserve. That means, Hoyer will miss at least the next four weeks of action. Mac Jones (ankle) is still banged up as well, so Bailey Zappe could be asked to start in Week 5. At this moment, it sounds like the Pats are leaning towards starting Zappe versus the Detroit Lions this week. That being said, fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option than Zappe for this upcoming week.
