Brian Hoyer released by Colts, could be attractive option for Patriots

Could it be Round 3 in New England for Brian Hoyer?

Listen to your team news NOW.

The long-time veteran was released by the Colts on Saturday after they signed Philip Rivers. The team did not need Hoyer anymore, as it has Jacoby Brissett under contract.

With Hoyer now available, the immediate thought is he could potentially be an option for Bill Belichick with the Patriots. He would not cost much money and could be a perfect player to have along with Jarrett Stidham.

If Stidham is ready to start, Hoyer is the perfect backup.
