The New England Patriots have signed quarterback Brian Hoyer to a one-year deal, according to Hoyer’s agent Joe Linta.
Hoyer will join a crowded quarterback room, which includes last year’s starter Cam Newton, a 2021 first-round pick Mac Jones and a 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham. Hoyer finished third on the depth chart for the Patriots in 2020 after losing the backup job to Stidham.
Hoyer finished 2020 with one start against the Kansas City Chiefs. He completed 62.5% of his passes for 130 yards and an interception before the Patriots benched him for Stidham.
