It's easy, and only takes a few moments.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...

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.
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.
@caplannfl
For some odd reason, QB Brian Hoyer is listed as contract terminated, so he's not subject to waivers after all.
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.
Do Cardinals have to pay him the tender amount now or is he out of pocket?

Franchise tenders are guaranteed. RFA tenders are not.
