Lombardi said he would have been in the deal had his guarantees not been so complicated, expect a two year deal.
It's quite possible. That's why I started this tracking thread - to keep up with any news of his whereabouts. So far I haven't found anything but that he's been released and a load of speculation that's he's coming here.
Lets Lawyer for Hoyer?This must be what Browns fans feel like literally every season! I say we all revel in in this unique moment in time. Somebody come up with a neat slogan like the Colts fans did with "Suck for Luck", to show Hoyer we really want to land this plane.

I feel like it’s a dangerous game not to have a practice squad QB if you’re only going two deep.I'd rather grab someone from a practice squad
Hoyer gets us nothing

Hm how would trading for Hoyer impact comp picks?In all probability we asked them to let Hoyer walk so his signing wouldn't negate the 4th/5th comp pick we'd have gotten for losing Bennett as well as impacting the cap as less as possible.
So in the final analysis, I'd say that we traded Jimmy G. for a 2nd and a 4th, or a 5th, because SF is eating his salary this year as well as $3m for next season. Wouldn't be surprised if we signed Hoyer to the vet minimum.
The moment he was on the roster week 1, as a vested veteran- his salary for the year was guaranteed. The way I understand it he is eligible for a one time termination pay of his salary and he also earns whatever he can get elsewhere. So if he signs for the vet minimum, he gets that plus what he was supposed to get from SF unless there was offset language in the contract. If I'm wrong I'm sure somebody will correct me but- he benefits by being released and not traded and Pats benefit by not having him count against potential compensatory picks ( Bennett to GB) they would get..In all probability we asked them to let Hoyer walk so his signing wouldn't negate the 4th/5th comp pick we'd have gotten for losing Bennett as well as impacting the cap as less as possible.

Hoyer knows how to run our offense. He might be able to win a few games in the regular season if Brady goes down with a short term injury.
