"If I was still in the league and needed a quarterback, instead of chasing Kolb, I would chase Brian Hoyer of the Patriots," said Lombardi. He continued, "If teams evaluate New England's Week 17 game against Miami, they'd see that Hoyer demonstrates the skills needed to be a starter."

Patriots released WR Deion Branch.
I don' recall what it is called, but there is a term for the tendency in which we as people tend to overvalue our own possessions. I think that is what happened with many fans of the Patriots in regards to Brian Hoyer over the last year or so, with some speculating that he could be traded for an early draft pick.
In the end the reality was that this was a player with zero NFL starts that didn't really light the world on fire in preseason, didn't have a rocket arm, had a relatively high contract and will be a free agent next year. Put all that together and nobody was willing to part with even a 7th round pick for him.
He seems like a great guy and I wish him well; hopefully he can catch on somewhere else where he has more of an opportunity.
are their any veteran receivers on this team ?
No way its Ebert and Branch gone.
no way!
I'm guessing they're bringing him back after week 1 so as not to guarantee his salary. But still, what the...?
Um.... Welker, Lloyd, Slater, Edleman, Ebert, and the two other guys.....
4 TE's?
This is why I ignore most of the things Lombardi says about Patriots players. They couldn't even get a late round pick for him??
New England Patriots Backup Brian Hoyer a Better Trade Target Than Kevin Kolb? | Bleacher Report
Ebert was cut (and he's not a veteran), Slater??? as a receiver??

Ebert has not been cut yet
Maybe to BB they aren't worthless jags. And remember to be a JAG in the NFL is not a bad thing. For every "all pro" there are 15 JAGS.Now we have nothing but worthless jags behind Welker and Lloyd.
