Hoyer 3.0

It looks like QB Brian Hoyer will begin his third stint with the Pats since they signed him in 2009 as an undrafted player. He has been with five teams with 39 starts. His experience as a backup will help Jarrett Stidham and Cody Kessler.

He knows the offense after playing behind Tom Brady in 2017 and 2018.

He had just finished the first of a three year contract with the Colts, but became expendable when they signed Phillip Rivers.

Brady's departure to Tampa Bay will give Hoyer at least another year in the league.
