QB Brian Hoyer released by Arizona

[resdubwhite]

He's been jipped for the second year running.

Do Cardinals have to pay him the tender amount now or is he out of pocket?

can't imagine no-one will take him up. Wonder if Bill will bring him back as third qb?

 

[Kontradiction]

Nice! Let's scoop him up so we can turn around and offer him as trade bait to finally get that elusive first round pick that was rightfully our's for his services.

 

[Dago]

He signed the tender?
if signed money are guaranted?
I hope yes for him....

 

[Snake Eyes]

I'd love to grab him and bring him into camp, at the very least he's an extra arm which will ease the burden on #12. It's also possible that we deal Mallett before the season begins, it wouldnt surprise me if some starting QB is injured and the team has to make a deal to save their season.

Bring back Hoyer!

We let him go because we had Mallett. We still have Mallett. Unless that changes, I don't see us bringing him back. Maybe I'm amiss...

 

[p8ryts]

I still don't get why everyone is so insistent on trading Mallett. We just might need a capable backup.

Those of you that think there will be #1 in the offing or even a number 2, are smoking something. If someone was going to offer it this was the year because the QB's in the draft were not rated outstanding. Next year's group will be better.

As I already said, we needs arms for camp. It's also possible we deal Mallett elsewhere, which would make Hoyer valuable as a backup.

 

[Armchair Quarterback]

1. Look for Pittsburgh to sign him.
2. He doesn't see any money despite signing the tender, still has to make the team.
3. Why the assumption he is any better than Kafka?
4. Weak arm.

Unless something happens to Brady, Mallett, or Kafka, I couldn't see why bringing back Hoyer would make any sense at the moment.

I suppose the rumors and thoughts about trading Mallett aren't going to stop until he plays out his rookie contract. We've heard the same stuff now since the day we drafted him...he was supposed to go in the 2012 draft for a high pick, then it was the 2013 draft...now it will be the 2014 draft or the thought of some team making a move in desperation in training camp.

Well, to be fair, it's a combination of (A) Belichick's penchant for trading players for draft picks if the value is right, and (B) the fact that Brady's extension rather firmly states "Ryan Mallett, barring injury to Brady, will not start a game in New England."

Brady goes down we're F'd. Who says Mallett is capable? How would we know? Certainly not based on the few dozen snaps we've seen in preseason.

@caplannfl

For some odd reason, QB Brian Hoyer is listed as contract terminated, so he's not subject to waivers after all.

 

[mgteich]

sounds good

Now, please all/any players with the vast experience of Mallett (none) that Belichick has traded for a significant draft pick.

Well, to be fair, it's a combination of (A) Belichick's penchant for trading players for draft picks if the value is right, and (B) the fact that Brady's extension rather firmly states "Ryan Mallett, barring injury to Brady, will not start a game in New England."

 

[Don Kipines]

I don't think the issue is Hoyer versus Mallett so much as Hoyer versus Kafka. If we're going to have a third quarterback and a competitor for Mallett, it wouldn't hurt to have someone familiar with the system.

Hoyer is limited, but I think a lot of people would feel safer if he was hanging around as a third option. Is Kafka any good? We don't have any idea.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Sign him that way we can safely do the Mallet for 4 1st rounders deal

 

[Nehalem]

How would anyone know?

But BB's last 2 backup QBs who were forced to fill in for an injured starter have worked out fairly successfully for us.

If I were to bet I would say that Mallet could at least keep the season interesting verse having a suck for luck campaign.

Franchise tenders are guaranteed. RFA tenders are not.

I beleive it is just that Draftniks must have draft choices for their latest finds. You know the undiscovered Safety from East Cupcake U. Who is a find as a #1 draft pick; or certainly merits at least #7 pick; or maybe a UDFA contract. And who makes up for being very slow, by being very small. Their guy who could actually win and earn, the 8th Safety position. If there were really such a thing beyond the 90 man rosters of early Training Camp.

They NEVER consider that signing any backup QB after Mallett is traded would likely cost the Team a few $ million dollars more than what Ryan is earning. (Look at what Cassell is making! 4$ million per.) Provided that anyone is available. But that is of no concern, whatever.

After all we desperately need an 8th Safety, much more than a #2 backup QB.

 

[BradyBranch39]

Why would Hoyer sign with us to be our #3 when some team will offer him a #2 job?

Sucks for him. 2 years on the trot too.
