Tom Brady is no longer the only quarterback on the Patriots roster.

The team signed Brian Hoyer to be Brady's backup today.

Hoyer, 32, is back for his second stint as Brady's backup, a role he served in from 2009-11.

He most recently was in San Francisco, which cut him after acquiring Jimmy Garoppolo from the Patriots earlier this week.
